Answer:

Angle: 22.5 deg, Complement: 67.5 deg, Supplement: 157.5 deg

Explanation:

22.5 is 1/3 of 67.5

so compliment is 67.5.

Supplement is just adding another angle so I chose 7.

I did 22.5 x 7 = 157.5

Another example would be:

Angle: 10 deg, Complement: 30 (because 10 x 3), Supplement: 70 (because 10 x 7)

Hope this helps :)
