Question

If the supplement of an angle is 152°, then what is the complement of that angle?

• A. ${52}^{\circ }$
• B. ${62}^{\circ }$
• C. ${28}^{\circ }$
• D. ${38}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${62}^{\circ }$

Two angles are supplementary if they add up to ${180}^{\circ }$.
Supplement of ${152}^{\circ }$ is ${180}^{\circ }-{152}^{\circ }={28}^{\circ }$

Two angles are complementary if they add up to ${90}^{\circ }$.
Complement of ${28}^{\circ }$ is ${90}^{\circ }-{28}^{\circ }={62}^{\circ }$
