What is the complementary angle of 23 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 23 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 23 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 23 degrees (23°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 23 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 23 degrees, is the angle that when added to 23 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 23 degrees, we subtract 23 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 23 = 67
67 degrees
23 degrees plus the complementary angle of 67 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 23 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 23 degrees, which is 67 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 23 degrees and 67 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 23 degrees and 67 degrees, are complementary angles.
