Question

Find the measure of the complement and supplement of an with measure of 60

Answer 1

The complement is 30°

The supplement is 120°

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

Let x be the supplement of 60°, then

`x + 60 = 180`

Subtract 60 from both sides of the equation to get:

`x = 180 - 60`

`x = 120`

Therefore the supplement of 60° is 120°.

Complementary angles add up to 90°

Let y be the complement of 60°.

Then

`y + 60 = 90`

`y = 90 - 60`

`y = 30`
