Tow angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees.
Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No trigonometry needed.
The complement of a 40.6 degree angle is 90-40.6 = 49.4 degrees.

uhh ok ..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Same procedure for the supplement of an angle.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
30°
x+30°=90
x=30°-90°
x=60°
complementary

Yes, or just subtract the angle from 90 (or from 180 in the case of the supplement of the angle).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is, the complement of any angle, x, is just 90 - x.
The supplement of any angle, y, is just 180-y.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
30°
x+30°=180
x=30°-180°
x=150°
supplementary
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = 180 - 30 (not 30 - 180)
