Find the complementary angle for 93

2 Answers

Answer:

Complementary means they add up to 90, so you want 2 angles that add up to 90...so what do you mean for 93? Are you talking supplementary,(add to 180), because that would be 87.

Answer: no complement

Explanation: To find the complement of a 93 degree angle, we take 90 minus the measure of the angle which in this case is 90° - 93°.

Notice that this gives us a negative angle measure

and since we can't have a negative angle,

we say that the given angle has no complement.

Watch out for negative answers to geometry problems.

Since we're usually talking about angle measures

or segment lengths, negatives will not work.
