What is the complementary angle of 72.1 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 72.1 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 72.1 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 72.1 degrees (72.1°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 72.1 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 72.1 degrees, is the angle that when added to 72.1 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 72.1 degrees, we subtract 72.1 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 72.1 = 17.9
17.9 degrees
72.1 degrees plus the complementary angle of 17.9 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 72.1 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 72.1 degrees, which is 17.9 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 72.1 degrees and 17.9 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 72.1 degrees and 17.9 degrees, are complementary angles.
