What is the complementary angle of 73 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 73 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 73 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 73 degrees (73°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 73 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 73 degrees, is the angle that when added to 73 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 73 degrees, we subtract 73 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 73 = 17
17 degrees
73 degrees plus the complementary angle of 17 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 73 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 73 degrees, which is 17 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 73 degrees and 17 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 73 degrees and 17 degrees, are complementary angles.
