Find the complement of each of the following angles:
(i)

Show solutionHide solution
Solution:-
Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90o.
The given angle is 20o
Let the measure of its complement be xo.
Then,
= x + 20o = 90o
= x = 90o – 20o
= x = 70o
Hence, the complement of the given angle measures 70o.
(ii)

Solution:-
Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90o.
The given angle is 63o
Let the measure of its complement be xo.
Then,
= x + 63o = 90o
= x = 90o – 63o
= x = 27o
Hence, the complement of the given angle measures 27o.
(iii)

Solution:-
Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90o.
The given angle is 57o
Let the measure of its complement be xo.
Then,
= x + 57o = 90o
= x = 90o – 57o
= x = 33o
Hence, the complement of the given angle measures 33o.
