If the measures of an angle and its complement are in the ratio 1 to 2 what is the measure of the complement?
60 degrees. An angle and its complement always add up to 90 degrees. Because the ratio is 1:2, you know that there are three parts total (add the two sides of the ratio to get the total number of parts). Therefore, you can restate the ratio as 1/3 to 2/3. 2/3 of 90 is 60. So, the angle of the complement is 60 degrees.
What is the complement of an angle measuring 25 degrees 19 minutes 12 seconds?
An Angle and its complement add to 90o, so the complement of 25o19'12'' is: 90o - 25o19'12" = 64o40'48" as there are 60 seconds to every minute and 60 minutes to every degree.
Find the complement of a 20 degree angle?
90-20 = 70 degrees
The supplement of an angle is 60 degrees less than twice the supplement of the complement of the angle what is the measure of the complement?
180-x= 2(90+x) - 60 180-x=180+2x - 60 -x=-60 x=60 Are you in my honors geometry class? The algebra is wrong. the third line should read -3x=-60 x=20 therefore the complement is 70o This agrees with the answer in the back of the book.
What is complement and supplement of 64 degrees?
Complement: 90-64 = 26 degrees Supplement: 180-64 = 116 degrees
