How do I solve for the supplementary and complimentary angles when given:
the angle measurement of 24 degrees and 43' and 50".
The answer requires three numbers, I know your supposed to subtract 24 from 90 to find the compliment and 180 for the supplement,
:
We know that 1 degree is 60 min and 1 min is 60 sec
therefore from a complement, subtract 1 degree from 90 and add 60 min
subtract 1 min from that, and add 60 sec, so we have:
:
89 59' 60"
24 43' 50"
---------------
65 16' 10"
:
for the supplement
179 59' 60"
24 43' 50"
------------
