The ratio of the complement of an angle to the supplement of the angle is 1:10. Find the measure of the supplement of the complement.
---------
complement: 90-x
supplement: 180-x
-----
Equation:
10(90-x) = 180-x
900 - 10x = 180 - x
9x = 720
x = 80
------
Your Problem::
supplement = 180-x = 100 degrees
