180-x= 2(90+x) - 60

180-x=180+2x - 60

-x=-60

x=60

Are you in my honors geometry class?

The algebra is wrong. the third line should read

-3x=-60

x=20

therefore the complement is 70o

This agrees with the answer in the back of the book.

What is the complement of the supplement of 108 degrees?

An angle of 108 degrees does not have a complement because is greater than 90 degrees. Its supplement angle has a measure of 180 - 108 = 72 degrees.


What is the complement of the supplement of 80?

The question asks for the complement of (the supplement of (80 degrees) ). We have to find the supplement of 80 first, and then find the complement of the supplement. The supplement of an angle is (180 - the angle). The complement of an angle is (90 - the angle). The supplement of 80 degrees is (180 - 80) = 100 degrees. The complement of that supplement is (90 - 100) = -10 degrees.

What is the supplement of the complement of a 38 degrees angle?

The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 180 degrees. The complement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the original angle, equals 90 degrees. Therefore, the supplement of the complement of a 38-degree angle would be the angle that, when added to the complement of 38 degrees (52 degrees), equals 180 degrees. This angle would be 128 degrees.


What is the measure of the angle whose complement is four ninths its supplement?

The measure of an angle whose complement is four ninths its supplement?æ is 18 degrees. It is calculated as follows: let y be the angle, its complement will be (90-y) degrees and its supplement will be (180-y)?æ degrees and?æ since it complement is?æ 4/9 its supplement; then?æ it is?æ?æ(90-y)= 4/9(180-y).?æ Hence, you will get 18 degrees when you solve the equation.

How do you find the measure of angle A if the supplement of angle A is 20 degrees greater than twice the complement of angle A?

The supplement of A is 180 - A The complement of A is 90 - A So, 180 - A = 2*(90 - A) + 20 or 180 - A = 180 - 2A + 20 So A = 20 degrees


If the complement of an angle is 77 What is the measure of the angle?

An angle and its complement have to add to 90 degrees. 77 and 13 add to 90. 13 is the complement of 77. You will also be doing supplement. They add to 180.
