You can put this solution on YOUR website! A supplement of an angle is 4 times the complement of the angle. find the measure of the angle. Then find the measure of its complement and supplement
------
angle:: x
supplement:: 180-x
complement:: 90-x
----------------------------
Equation:
180-x = 4(90-x)
180-x = 360-4x
3x = 180
x = 60 degrees
-----
Ans: complement = 90-x = 30 degrees
Ans: supplement = 180-x = 120 degrees
