Question

Find the complementary angle of ${36}^{\circ }$.

Answer 1

We know, two angles are said to be complementary, if the sum of their measures is ${90}^{\circ }.$

The given angle is ${36}^{\circ }$.

Let the measure of its complement be $x^{\circ }.$

Then,

$⟹x+{36}^o={90}^o$

$⟹x={90}^o-{36}^o$

$⟹x={54}^{\circ }$.

Hence, the complement of the given angle measures ${54}^{\circ }.$
