find the complement of an angle with a measure 72 degrees
The complement of an angle with a measure of 72 degrees is 18 degrees.
To find the complement of an angle, subtract the measure of the angle from 90 degrees.
90 degrees - 72 degrees = 18 degrees
To find the complement of an angle with a measure of 72 degrees, you need to subtract the given angle from 90 degrees, which is the measure of a right angle.
Complement of the angle = 90 degrees - 72 degrees
= 18 degrees
Therefore, the complement of an angle with a measure of 72 degrees is 18 degrees.
