The term 'complement' describes something, or things, which go well with another thing, or things; which completes an effect, or brings to perfection one or more things which alone might not be as effective.
For example: The tulips are lovely, and the crystal vase complements them perfectly; it really completes the picture.
A complement can also mean something or things which complete a set. For example: he'd been waiting for years to find the last two books in the set; now he's located them he has the full complement.
A complement also refers to the full crew required to run, for example, a ship: The ship can sail now the full complementis aboard.
In grammar, a complement is used to predicate a construction, for example, in He loves to go sailing, 'to go sailing' is the complement.
A complementary color can be either one of two colors which can be mixed to produce white (as light) or gray (as a pigment), or a color which possesses the greatest chromatic contrast to another, for example red-green. A color wheel situates complementary colors directly opposite.
The term 'complement' also has separate, specialized meanings in logic, geometry, maths, music, and science.

How do you find the complement and a supplement of a number?
To find the complementary angle, you subtract 90 by the first given complement angle. To find the supplementary angle, you subtract 180 by the first given supplement angle.

How do you find a complement?
The word complement means "something that completes." (That's why it's spelled complement,as opposed to compliment, a favorable comment.) In geometry, the complement is the angle needed to complete a right angle. Thus,90° - known quantity = complement

What is the complement of a 23 degree angle?
to find the complement, subtract 23 from 90. so the answer is 67 degrees
What is Nines complement of 27?
To find the 9s complement, subtract each digit from 9: 27 → 72
What is the complement of the supplement of 80?
The question asks for the complement of (the supplement of (80 degrees) ). We have to find the supplement of 80 first, and then find the complement of the supplement. The supplement of an angle is (180 - the angle). The complement of an angle is (90 - the angle). The supplement of 80 degrees is (180 - 80) = 100 degrees. The complement of that supplement is (90 - 100) = -10 degrees.
