What is the supplementary angle of 56 degrees? Here we will define the supplementary angle of 56 degrees, show you how to calculate the supplementary angle of 56 degrees, and even illustrate the supplementary angle of 56 degrees (56°) so you have a solid understanding of what it means.
The supplementary angle of 56 degrees, also known as the supplement angle of 56 degrees, is the angle that when added to 56 results in a sum of 180. Therefore, to calculate the supplement angle of 56 degrees, we subtract 56 from 180. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
180 - angle = supplement angle
180 - 56 = 124
124 degrees
56 degrees plus the supplementary angle of 56 degrees equals 180 degrees, which means that together they will make a straight line.
The illustration below shows 56 degrees colored in red and the supplementary angle of 56 degrees, which is 124 degrees, colored in green.
As you can see from the illustration above, 56 degrees and 124 degrees form a straight line together. This proves that the two angles, 56 degrees and 124 degrees, are supplementary angles.
