The complement angle of 80° is
Elementary MathematicsGeometry: Lines, Angles and Triangles
- A18/π radian
- B5π/9 radian
- Cπ/18 radian
- D9/(5π) radian
Explanation
Complementary angles are a pair that add to 90°, so the complement of 80° is 90° − 80° = 10°. The degree-to-radian conversion uses the relation 180° = π radians, so 10° = 10 × (π/180) = π/18 radians. Hence option (c). The distractors mix up the conversion factor: 5π/9 radians equals 100° (a mis-computed complement), while 18/π and 9/(5π) come from inverting the π/180 multiplier.
