Question 729405: hello :) I don't know how to find the complement or supplement for this problem:
angle ABC= 57 degrees, what is it's complement? I thought you had to divide pi by 2 and then multiply that number by 57 to get the complement, but that keeps coming out wrong. And I thought to get the supplement you had to just multiply the angle by 3.14 but that seems to be wrong too. Help please? Thanks

COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES ADD UP TO 90 DEGREES.
SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES ADD UP TO 180 DEGREES.
57+X=90
X=90-57
X=23 DEGREES ANS. FOR THE COMPLEMENT.
57+X=180
X=180-57
X=123 DEGREES ANS. FOR THE SUPPLEMENT.
