Question

The measure of a supplement of an angle is 12° greater than three times the measure of a complement. How do you find the measure of the angle?

Answer 1

The angle is `51^o`

Explanation:

Let a be the angle then 180-a is the supplement and 90-a is the complement .Hence we have that

`180-a=12+3*(90-a)=>180-a=12+270-3a=>2a=102=>a=51`
