What is the supplementary angle of 179 degrees? Here we will define the supplementary angle of 179 degrees, show you how to calculate the supplementary angle of 179 degrees, and even illustrate the supplementary angle of 179 degrees (179°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The supplementary angle of 179 degrees, also known as the supplement angle of 179 degrees, is the angle that when added to 179 results in a sum of 180. Therefore, to calculate the supplement angle of 179 degrees, we subtract 179 from 180. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
180 - angle = supplement angle
180 - 179 = 1
1 degree
179 degrees plus the supplementary angle of 179 degrees equals 180 degrees, which means that together they will make a straight line.
The illustration below shows 179 degrees colored in red and the supplementary angle of 179 degrees, which is 1 degree, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 179 degrees and 1 degree form a straight line together. This proves that the two angles, 179 degrees and 1 degree, are supplementary angles.
