If the two complementary angles are adjacent i.e. have a common vertex geometry vertex and share just one side their non shared sides form a angle right angle . In Euclidean geometry , the two angle acute angles in a right triangle are complementary, because the sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, and the right angle itself accounts for ninety degrees. The adjective complementary is from Latin complementum , associated with the verb complere , to fill up . An acute angle is filled up by its complement to form a right angle.

It is therefore true that, if angles A and B are complementary, math sin 2A sin 2B 1 math , and math cos 2A cos 2B 1 math . The tangent of an angle equals the cotangent of its complementary angle.

Unreferenced date February 2007 In physics , two experimental techniques are often called complementary if they investigate the same subject in two different ways such that two different ideally non overlapping properties or aspects can be investigated. For example, X ray scattering and neutron scattering experiments are often said to be complementary because the former reveals information about the electron density of the atoms in the target but gives no information about the atomic nucleus nuclei because they are too small to affect the X rays significantly , while the latter allows you to investigate the nuclei of the atoms but cannot tell you anything about their electron hulls because the neutron s, being neutral, do not interact with the electric charge charged electrons . Scattering experiments are sometimes also called complementary when they investigate the same physical property of a system from two complementarity physics complementary view points in the sense of Niels Bohr Bohr .

Refimprove date May 2009 Complementary distribution in linguistics is the relationship between two different elements, where one element is found in a particular environment and the other element is found in the opposite environment. It often indicates that two superficially different elements are in fact the same linguistic unit at a deeper level. In some instances, more than two elements can be in complementary distribution with one another. In phonology Main Allophone Complementary distribution is commonly applied to phonology , where similar Phone phonetics phones in complementary distribution are usually allophone s of the same phoneme. For instance, in English, IPA p and IPA p are allophones of the phoneme IPA p because they occur in complementary distribution. IPA p always occurs when it is the syllable onset and followed by a lexical stress stress ed vowel as in the word p in . IPA p occurs in all other situations as in the word s p in . There are cases where elements are in complementary distribution, but are not considered allophones. For example in English h and IPA engma , written with the digraph ng in English are in complementary distribution, since h only occurs at the beginning of a syllable and IPA only at the end. But because they have so little in common in phonetic terms they are still considered separate phonemes. ref An Introduction to Language by Victoria Fromkin ref In morphology Main Allomorph The concept of complementary distribution is applied in the analysis of word forms morphology linguistics morphology .

Complementary colors are pairs of color s that are of opposite hue in some color model .

Complementary holism is a social theory or conceptual framework proposed by Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel , that sees all societies as consisting of a Human Center and Institutional Boundaries, and that all social relations in the political, economic, community cultural and kinship spheres as mutually interacting to defining our social experiences. Complementary holism does not rest on an a priori assumption that a particular sphere is the base and all else is superstructure, as Historical Materialism does, but rather that we must take an empirical look at society s development and assess how it has been shaped by all social forces. Complementary holists agree with Marxists that economics is important to human and social development, just as they do with anarchists in regards to the State polity or with feminists in regards to gender inequality , but where they differ with Marxists is that they do not see economics, or class conflict , as the sole factor, nor do they feel it is possible, or productive, to say it is always the most important factor.

Note the two highlighted extruded bases. From PDB 2ACJ . Z DNA is quite different from the right handed forms. In fact, Z DNA is often compared against B DNA in order to illustrate the major differences. The Z DNA helix is left handed and has a structure that repeats every 2 base pairs. The major and minor grooves, unlike A and B DNA, show little difference ... DNA supercoil ing or high salt and some cation s all at physiological temperature, 37 C, and pH 7.3 7.4 .

When normal repair processes fail, and when cellular apoptosis does not occur, irreparable DNA damage may occur, including double strand breaks and DNA crosslinkages ... The rate of DNA repair is dependent on many factors, including the cell type, the age of the cell, and the extracellular environment. A cell that has accumulated a large amount of DNA damage, or one that no longer effectively repairs damage incurred to its DNA, can enter one of three possible states ... ous The DNA repair ability of a cell is vital to the integrity of its genome and thus to its normal ... life span have turned out to be involved in DNA damage repair and protection. ref name browner ... of evolution .
