Question:
If the supplement of an angle is 3 times its complement, find its angle?
Solution:
Let the angle in case be 'x'
Given that,
Supplement of an angle = 3 times its complementary angle
Supplementary angle = 180 - x
Complementary angle = 90 - x
Applying given data,
180 - x = 3 (90 - x)
3x - x = 270 - 180
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45
Therefore, the angle in case is 45°
