Complementary Angle Formula
complement = 90° - θ
Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees. This calculator subtracts the given angle from 90 degrees to find its complement.
⚠ Enter an angle from 0° to 90°. Larger angles do not have a standard nonnegative complement.
How Complementary Angles Work
In a right angle, the two acute parts add to 90 degrees. Complementary angles also connect to cofunction identities such as sin θ = cos(90°-θ).
Right Angle
Complementary angles total 90°.
Input Angle
Must be between 0° and 90°.
Complement
Found by subtracting from 90°.
Cofunctions
Complements connect sine and cosine.
💡 Example: For 35°, the complementary angle is 90°-35°=55°.
