What is the complementary angle of 52 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 52 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 52 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 52 degrees (52°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 52 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 52 degrees, is the angle that when added to 52 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 52 degrees, we subtract 52 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 52 = 38
38 degrees
52 degrees plus the complementary angle of 38 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 52 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 52 degrees, which is 38 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 52 degrees and 38 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 52 degrees and 38 degrees, are complementary angles.
