Find the complement and supplement and two co-terminal angles to pi/6 radians.
Thank you very much!
Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees or equivalently pi/2 radians.
Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees or equivalently pi radians.
Let x be the complement of the angle pi/6. Then we have:
x + pi/6 = pi/2
x = pi/2 - pi/6
x = 3pi/6 - pi/6
x = 2pi/6
x = pi/3
Let y be the supplement of the angle pi/6. Then we have:
x + pi/6 = pi
x = pi - pi/6
x = 6pi/6 - pi/6
x = 5pi/6
