Question

Find the measure of the complement and the supplement of 39.9

Answer 1

The complement of an angle is the measure of the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 90 degrees. The supplement of an angle is the measure of the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 180 degrees.

To find the complement of an angle, subtract its measure from 90 degrees:
Complement = 90 - 39.9 = <<90-39.9=50.1>>50.1

To find the supplement of an angle, subtract its measure from 180 degrees:
Supplement = 180 - 39.9 = <<180-39.9=140.1>>140.1

Therefore, the complement of 39.9 is 50.1 degrees and the supplement of 39.9 is 140.1 degrees.
