(a) An angle measures 25 degrees. What is the measure of its complement?

(b) An angle measures 136 degrees. What is the measure of its supplement?

1 answer

(a) The complement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, results in a right angle (90 degrees). Since the given angle measures 25 degrees, its complement would be 90 - 25 = 65 degrees.

(b) The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, results in a straight angle (180 degrees). Since the given angle measures 136 degrees, its supplement would be 180 - 136 = 44 degrees.
