Problem
Find the degree measure of an angle whose complement is 25% of its supplement.
Solution
Solution 1
We can create an equation for the question,
After simplifying, we get
Solution 2
Given that the complementary angle is 90^{\circ}\frac{3}{4}$of the supplementary angle.
Thus the degree measure of the supplementary angle is$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)120^{\circ}180^{\circ} - 120^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}
