Question

what is the complement to a 32° angel?

Answer 1

We want to find the angle that is complementary to a 32 degree angle.

2 angles are:

• complementary, if they add up to ,90

,

• supplementary, if they add up to ,180

Let's call the unknown angle as x, thus we can write:

$x+32=90$

We can now solve for x, easily. The process is shown below:

$\begin{gathered} x+32=90 \\ x=90-32 \\ x=58\degree \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$x=58\degree$
