Question 133546: Find the measure of an angle whose complement is four times its measure. I have no clue how to solve this the example in my book doesn't tell me how to solve this question. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a complimentary angle is one that combined with the given angle adds up to 90 degrees.
Let the angle be "a"
So, 4a=90-a
4a+a=90-a+a
5a=90
a=18 deg.

Check:
4*18=90-18 True
