The measure of an angle for which the measure of the supplement is four times the measure of the complement is  Correct Answer 60°

Concept used:

Supplementary angle: Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

Calculation:

Let the angle be x

So its complement angle will be = 90° - x

So, its supplement angle will be = 180° - x

Given, that the supplement is 4 times its complement

According to the question

⇒ 180° - x = 4 (90° - x)

⇒ 180 - x = 360° - 4x

⇒ 4x - x = 360° - 180°

⇒ 3x = 180°

⇒ x = 180°/3

⇒ x = 60°
