  • Solving Angle Problems: Finding Angles and Supplementary Relationships
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    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.
