Question

Find the measure of the complement and supplement of an with measure of 60

Answer 1

Answer:

The complement is 30°

The supplement is 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

Let x be the supplement of 60°, then

$x + 60 = 180$

Subtract 60 from both sides of the equation to get:

$x = 180 - 60$

$x = 120$

Therefore the supplement of 60° is 120°.

Complementary angles add up to 90°

Let y be the complement of 60°.

Then

$y + 60 = 90$

$y = 90 - 60$

$y = 30$
