If the complement of an angle is 62°, then find its supplement

Solution:

Given, the complement of an angle is 62°.

We have to find the supplement of the angle.

When the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, the angles are called complementary angles.

Each of them is called a complement of the other.

Let the angle be x.

Complement of x = 90° - x

90° - x = 62°

x = 90° - 62°

x = 28°

When the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, the angles are called supplementary angles.

Each of them is called a supplement of the other.

Supplement of an angle x = 180° - x

= 180° - 28°

= 152°

Therefore, the supplement of the angle is 152°.
