Example Questions
Example Question #4 : Angle Geometry
What angle is complementary to 55?
The definition of a complementary angle means that two angles must add up to 90 degrees.
To find the angle, simply subtract 55 from 90.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 : Angle Geometry
What angle is complementary to 10 degrees?
Complementary angles must add up to ninety.
Subtract the given angle from 90 to find the other angle.
The answer is:
Example Question #5 : Angle Geometry
Suppose the angles and
are complementary angles. What is the value of
?
Set up the equation such that both angles sum up to 90.
Add 5 on both sides.
Divide both sides by 8.
The value of is:
The answer is:
Example Question #6 : Angle Geometry
Determine the value of if the angles
and
are complementary.
Complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.
Set up an equation so that the sum of two angles add up to 90.
Subtract 8 on both sides.
Simplify both sides.
Divide by two on both sides.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 : Angle Geometry
What angle is complementary to radians?
Note that this is in radians. Recall that 2 complementary angles must add up to 90 degrees.
Since ,
To find the complementary angle, subtract from
.
The answer is:
Example Question #441 : Geometry And Graphs
If the angles and
are complementary angles, what must be the smallest angle?
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Set up the equation such that both angles add up to 90.
Divide by 6 on both sides.
The smallest angle is .
Substitute the value of into the expression.
The answer is:
Example Question #12 : Complementary Angles
Suppose the angles and
are complementary angles. What is the value of
?
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Set up the equation to solve for .
Combine like-terms.
Subtract 6 from both sides.
Divide by three on both sides.
This means that .
The answer is:
Example Question #11 : Complementary Angles
What angle is complement to the angle ?
Note that complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees. There is no after the fraction, which means that this value is in degrees, and not radians.
To determine the other angle, simply subtract the angle from 90 degrees.
The answer is:
Example Question #11 : Complementary Angles
Which angle is complementary to the angle ?
Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees.
To find the other angle, subtract 62 from the value of 90.
The answer is:
Example Question #15 : Complementary Angles
The angles above are complementary.
What is the measure of the smaller angle?
Since the angles are complementary, you know that they must add up to a total of degrees. Based on our data, this means:
Simplifying, you get:
The smaller angle clearly is :
degrees
