Q.The measure of a supplementary angle of a certain angle is four times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of that angle? (a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 45° (d) None of the above
Answer: B
Let the measure of the angle be \(x\). ∴ According to the question, \((180^\circ - x) = 4 \times (90^\circ - x)\) i.e., \(180^\circ - x = 360^\circ - 4x\) i.e., \(-x + 4x = 360^\circ - 180^\circ = 180^\circ\) i.e., \(3x = 180^\circ\) i.e., \(x = 60^\circ\) So, the measure of the angle is \(60^\circ\).
