Question

If the supplement of an angle is 4 times of its compliment, find the angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle is 60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be x.

Then its supplement = 180-x.

Its complement = 90-x, so we have the equation:

180 - x = 4(90 - x)

180 - x = 360 - 4x

-x + 4x = 360 - 180

3x = 180

x= 60 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer:

The angle is 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

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 = 60°

The supplement angle = 180° - x

⇒ 180° - 60°

⇒ 120°

The complement angle = 90° - x

⇒ 90° - 60°

⇒ 30°
