1. Define the variables:
* Let 'x' be the angle.
* Its supplementary angle is (180 - x).
2. Set up the equation:
The problem states that the angle is "quarter times greater than its supplementary angle," which translates to:
x = (1/4)(180 - x) + (1/4)(180 - x)
3. Solve for x:
* Simplify the equation: x = (1/2)(180 - x)
* Distribute: x = 90 - (1/2)x
* Add (1/2)x to both sides: (3/2)x = 90
* Multiply both sides by (2/3): x = 60
Therefore, the angle is 60 degrees.
