Supplementary angles sum to , while complementary angles sum to
Let the measure of the angle be A
Then its supplement = 180 - A
Additionally, its complement = 90 - A
Since it's stated that, "The supplement of an angle measures 10 times the measure of its complement," then we'll have:
180 - A = 10(90 - A)
180 - A = 900 - 10A
- A + 10A = 900 - 180
9A = 720
A, or measure of angle = , or
