How to use

  1. Choose complementary, supplementary, third angle or clock.
  2. Enter the angle, the two triangle angles, or the hour and minute.
  3. Read the answer and the steps.

Good to know

Complementary angles add up to 90° and supplementary angles to 180° (NCERT Class 7 "Lines and Angles"). The explement (or conjugate) is what is left to make 360°.

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180°, so the third angle is 180° − A − B. The exterior angle at that corner equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

Clock angle: the minute hand moves 6° a minute and the hour hand 0.5° a minute, so the angle is |30H − 5.5M|. If it is over 180°, the smaller angle is 360° minus it. This comes up often in SSC, bank and railway reasoning papers.

Questions

What is the complement of 35°?

90° − 35° = 55°.

What is the supplement of 35°?

180° − 35° = 145°.

What is the angle between the clock hands at 3:40?

|30 × 3 − 5.5 × 40| = |90 − 220| = 130°.

Can an obtuse angle have a complement?

No. Only angles less than 90° have a complement.

Is anything I enter stored?

No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
