What is the complementary angle of 87.1 degrees? Here we will define the complementary angle of 87.1 degrees, show you how to calculate the complementary angle of 87.1 degrees, and even illustrate the complementary angle of 87.1 degrees (87.1°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The complementary angle of 87.1 degrees, also known as the complement angle of 87.1 degrees, is the angle that when added to 87.1 results in a sum of 90. Therefore, to calculate the complement angle of 87.1 degrees, we subtract 87.1 from 90. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
90 - angle = complement angle
90 - 87.1 = 2.9
2.9 degrees
87.1 degrees plus the complementary angle of 2.9 degrees equals 90 degrees, which means that together they will make an L-shaped 90-degree angle.
The illustration below shows 87.1 degrees colored in red and the complementary angle of 87.1 degrees, which is 2.9 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 87.1 degrees and 2.9 degrees form an L-shaped angle together. This proves that the two angles, 87.1 degrees and 2.9 degrees, are complementary angles.
