Solution

Complementary angles are two angles that have the sum of 90°.

Would you like further explanation or examples of complementary angles?


Here are some additional questions to expand on the concept:

  1. What are supplementary angles, and how do they differ from complementary angles?
  2. How can we determine if two angles are complementary or not?
  3. Can complementary angles be greater than 90° if combined with other angles?
  4. What would be the complement of a 45° angle?
  5. How are complementary angles used in trigonometry?

Tip: Complementary angles are often found in right triangles, where the two non-right angles add up to 90°.
