Answer: 18°

Explanation:

Complementary angles are any two angles whose sum is 90 degrees. Hence, if angles x and y are complimentary, we can say

x + y = 90°

Therefore, the complimentary angle of 72° is obtained by subtracting 72° from 90°

i.e 90° - 72° = 18°

Thus, the complimentary angle of 72° is 18°
