One angle is 36°. what is the measure of its complement?

What are complementary angles?

Complementary angles are a pair of angles that equal 90°, or make up a right triangle.

Examples

- Two angles that are 45° make a complement because 45 + 45 is equal to 90.

- A 10° angle and an 80° angle make a complement because 80 + 10 is equal to 90.

- A 35° angle and a 55° angle make up a complement because 35 + 55 is equal to 90.

__________________________________________________

In this question, one of the angles measure 36°. To find the measure of the other angle, you have to subtract 36 from 90 since complements add up to 90°.

The measure of the other angle is equal to 54°

The measure of the other angle is equal to 54°
