Find the angle whose supplement is 4 times its complement.
Answers
A supplement angle is the angle whose sum is equal to 180°.
The supplement angle = 180° - x
A complement angle is the angle whose sum is equal to 90°.
The complement angle = 90° - x
Given,
supplement angle = 4 × complement angle
(180° - x) = 4 × (90° - x)
180° - x = 360° - 4x
4x - x = 360° - 180°
3x = 180°
x =
x = 60°
The supplement angle = 180° - x
⇒ 180° - 60°
⇒ 120°
The complement angle = 90° - x
⇒ 90° - 60°
⇒ 30°
