What to Focus On

  • Complementary angles are always acute angles.
  • Their sum is 90°.
  • The complement of θ° is (90 − θ)°.

  • A right triangle has one angle of 90°.
  • The other two angles are complementary.
  • In triangle ABC with ∠B = 90° and ∠ACB = θ, ∠CAB = 90° − θ.

  • sin(90° − θ) = cos θ.
  • cos(90° − θ) = sin θ.
  • Sine and cosine are a complementary co-function pair.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any two angles that add up to 90° can be treated as complementary, even if they are not acute.

The complement of an angle θ° is 90° + θ°.

sin(90°−θ) = sin θ because the angle is only changed slightly.
