Answer to Problem 18CR

Measure of half of supplement is 19.5° .

Explanation of Solution

Given information : Here, we have given that supplement of an angle exceeds three times the measure of its complement by 12 .

Formula used : Complement angles are the angles whose sum is 90° and Supplement angles are the angles whose sum is 180°

Calculation: Let the angle be x .

   Supplement = (180x)° and complement = (90x)°

Now, according to the question,

  (180x)°3(90x)°=12180°x270°+3x=122x90°=122x=(12+90)°2x=102°x=102°2x=51°

   Half of supplement of angle = 12(90x)°

  12(9051)°12×39°19.5°
