What is the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees? Here we will define the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees, show you how to calculate the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees, and even illustrate the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees (172.8°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees, also known as the supplement angle of 172.8 degrees, is the angle that when added to 172.8 results in a sum of 180. Therefore, to calculate the supplement angle of 172.8 degrees, we subtract 172.8 from 180. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
180 - angle = supplement angle
180 - 172.8 = 7.2
7.2 degrees
172.8 degrees plus the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees equals 180 degrees, which means that together they will make a straight line.
The illustration below shows 172.8 degrees colored in red and the supplementary angle of 172.8 degrees, which is 7.2 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 172.8 degrees and 7.2 degrees form a straight line together. This proves that the two angles, 172.8 degrees and 7.2 degrees, are supplementary angles.
