How do you find the complement and supplement of an angle if the angle is 85 degrees?

Answer 1

It's an extremely easy one:

In your problem, 90°-85°=5° indicates that the complement of 85° is 5° because they add up to equal 90 degrees, which is a right angle. The complement of an angle is what, when added to it, equals 90 degrees (90°).

An angle's supplement is that which, when added to it, makes 180 degrees.

In your problem, for instance, 180°-85°=95° indicates that the 85° supplement is 95° because the sum of the two angles equals 180 degrees, a straight angle.
