What is the complementary angle of 22 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 22 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 22 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 22 degrees (22°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 22 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 22 degrees, is the angle that when added to 22 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 22 degrees, we subtract 22 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 22 = 68
68 degrees
22 degrees plus the complementary angle of 68 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 22 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 22 degrees, which is 68 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 22 degrees and 68 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 22 degrees and 68 degrees, are complementary angles.
