You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The complement of an angle is what, when added to it, equals 90 degrees. For example, in your problem, 90-50=40. This means that the complement of 50 is 40, since they add up to equal 90 degrees--a right angle.
\n" ); document.write( "The supplement of an angle is the same thing as a complement, except that it adds up to 180 degrees; that's a straight line. Now, break down the question to solve it.
\n" ); document.write( "\"What is the supplement of the complement\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now you know what your equation will be about. You want to find the complement of a degree, then find the supplement of that complement.
\n" ); document.write( "90-50=40 degrees as your complement of 50.
\n" ); document.write( "Now you know the complement. Just plug that in to find the supplement of it.
\n" ); document.write( "180-40=140.
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is 140º.
\n" ); document.write( "If that didn't make sense:
\n" ); document.write( "Complement=90-x
\n" ); document.write( "Supplement=180-x
\n" ); document.write( "That's all you need to know, really.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps =) \n" ); document.write( "
