Question

Find the measure of the complement and the supplement of 48degrees.

Answer 1

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

Complement of 48 degrees = 90 - 48 = 42 degrees
Supplement of 48 degrees = 180 - 48 = 132 degrees

Therefore, the complement of 48 degrees is 42 degrees and the supplement of 48 degrees is 132 degrees.
