Formula and method
An angle of 30 degrees pairs with 60 degrees to total 90 degrees.
α+β=90°; β=90°−α.

Assumptions and limitations
- Angles in this ordinary nonnegative model lie between 0 and 90 degrees. Zero and 90 are included as arithmetic endpoint cases.
- The find mode supplies the partner; the check mode compares two entered angles. Checking allows an absolute sum residual up to 10^-60 degree for internal unit roundoff, so rounded measurements do not prove exact equality.
- All retained angle units remain selectable. Clear an unknown to solve the partner inverse; locks retain supplied values. The explanatory diagram is static.
- Internal angle-unit conversion may round an endpoint by up to 10^-60 degree. A calculated negative endpoint within that resolution is clamped to zero; a supplied negative angle is invalid.
- Values smaller than fixed-decimal display resolution use scientific notation while retaining the computed finite precision; this avoids silently displaying nonzero values as zero.
Common questions
What is the required angle sum?
The two angle measures total 90 degrees.
Can rounded measurements establish an exact pair?
The check allows a computed sum residual up to 10^-60 degree for internal unit roundoff. Rounded measurements may not satisfy exact equality.

Translate only the captured angle-sum helper into a declarative check within 10^-60 degree numerical resolution, retaining every mode and inverse and allowing internal unit roundoff. No captured JavaScript runs in product. Clamp only sub-resolution negative endpoint roundoff to zero; negative supplied angles remain invalid. The sum cutoff is evaluated exactly on the normalized finite angle decimals, including sparse tails, by a fixed bounded local comparator rather than rounded addition. Keep the ordinary nonnegative angle model in [0,90] degrees; the two endpoint zero-angle arithmetic cases are explicit. Sum checks allow at most 10^-60 degree residual for internal unit roundoff and do not use the general fuzzy numeric comparison. Preserve finite nonzero results in scientific notation only when the existing 1000-decimal rounding search cannot meet its own relative precision; ordinary formatting is unchanged.
