Let the angle be x.

The complement of an angle x is 90-x since an angle plus its complement is 90 degrees.

The supplement of an angle x is 180-x since an angle plus its supplement is 180 degrees.

Therefore, we are given









Thus, the measure of the angle we are looking for is 60 degrees.

I hope this helps!
