A line makes 35 degrees with a plane. The angle it makes with the normal to that plane is

  • A.55 degrees
  • B.35 degrees
  • C.125 degrees
  • D.70 degrees

Answer: A

Correct answer: 55 degrees

The angle a line makes with a plane and the angle it makes with the normal to that plane are complementary: \[ 90 - 35 = 55^\circ. \] The distinction matters because the two are easily interchanged, and a solution that quotes the angle with the normal where the angle with the plane was wanted is out by exactly this amount.
