What is the complementary angle of 42.6 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 42.6 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 42.6 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 42.6 degrees (42.6°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 42.6 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 42.6 degrees, is the angle that when added to 42.6 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 42.6 degrees, we subtract 42.6 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 42.6 = 47.4
47.4 degrees
42.6 degrees plus the complementary angle of 47.4 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 42.6 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 42.6 degrees, which is 47.4 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 42.6 degrees and 47.4 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 42.6 degrees and 47.4 degrees, are complementary angles.
