Squirt · Answer 1

The definition of complementary is that the angles add up to equal 90. Therefore, if one angle measures 45, then its complement is also 45 because 45 + 45 = 90.

Regina Gentry · Answer 2

Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.

If one angle is 45 degrees, we subtract it from the 90. 90 - 45 = 45. The measure of your second angle is 45 degrees.
