To find the complement of a negative angle, you first need to determine its positive equivalent by adding 360 degrees to the negative angle. Once you have the positive angle, you can then find its complement by subtracting the angle from 90 degrees. This will give you the complement of the negative angle in the range of 0 to 90 degrees.

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.
Angle + Its Complement = 90 degrees Angle = Its Complement + 8 degrees2*(Its Complement) + 8 degrees = 90 degrees2*(Its Complement) = 82 degreesIts Complement = 41 degreesAngle + 41 degrees = 90 degreesAngle = 49 degrees
obtuse angle * * * * * The complement of an angle greater than 90 degrees is not an obtuse angle! It would be a negative angle, whose measure would be 90 minus the angle whose complement you require. This would only make sense if the direction in which the angles were measured were fixed. For example bearings, which are always measured in the clockwise direction.
Since the sum of the two complement angles is 90⁰ , then the complement of a 60⁰ angle is a 30⁰ angle.
