Definition
Complementary angles: When the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, the angles are called complementary angles. Example, 30° + 60° = 90°.
Notes
Complementary Angles:
-
When the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, the angles are called complementary angles.
-
Example, 30° + 60° = 90°
-
The ‘30° angle’ is the complement of the‘60° angle’ and vice versa.
Some more Examples,
Example
What is the measure of the complement of the following angles?
45º
Let the other measure of the angle is xº.
The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90º.
xº + 45º = 90º
xº = 90º - 45º
xº = 45º.
Example
What is the measure of the complement of the following angles?
65º
Let the other measure of the angle is xº.
The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90º.
xº + 65º = 90º
xº = 90º - 65º
xº = 25º.
Example
The difference in the measures of two complementary angles is 12o. Find the measures of the angles.
∠1 - ∠2 = 12°
⇒ ∠1 - (90° - ∠1) = 12°
⇒ ∠1 - 90° + ∠1 = 12°
⇒ 2∠1 - 90° = 12°
⇒ 2∠1 = 12° + 90°
⇒ 2∠1 = 102°
⇒ ∠1 = `(102°)/2`
⇒ ∠1 = 51°
∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
⇒ ∠2 = 90° - ∠1
⇒ ∠2 = 90° - 51°
⇒ ∠2 = 39°.
Example
Find the measure of the complement of an angle of measure 70°?
Let the measure of the complementary angle be x.
70 + x = 90
∴ 70 + x - 70 = 90 - 70
∴ x = 20°
The measure of the complement of an angle of measure 70° is 20°
Example
Angles of measures (a + 15)° and (2a)° are complementary. What is the measure of each angle?
a + 15 + 2a = 90
3a + 15 = 90
3a = 75
a = 25
∴ a + 15 = 25 + 15 = 40°
and 2a = 2 × 25 = 50°.
