Is 17 degrees complementary

1 Answer

An angle of 17 degrees alone is not complementary on its own because it falls short of the required 90 degrees.

In geometry, two angles are considered complementary if the sum of their measures equals 90 degrees.

Therefore, to determine if an angle of 17 degrees is complementary, we need to check whether when combined with another angle, the total equals 90 degrees.

For instance, if combined with an angle of 73 degrees (17 degrees + 73 degrees = 90 degrees), then the angle of 17 degrees would be considered complementary to the 73-degree angle.
