Question 98518


     The measure of one angle is three times the measure of its complement. Find the measure of each angle.


            Let the required angle be = x

                its compliment will be = 90-x

                given angle = 3(compliment)

                         x = 3(90-x)

                         x = 270-3x
                       3x+x = 270

                         4x = 270
                           x = 270/4 = 67.5 degrees
