(i) equal to its complement,

(ii) equal to its supplement.

Solution

Ans:

(i) Let the measure of the required angle be x°.

Then, in case of complementary angles:

x + x = 90°

= 2x = 90°

= x = 45°

Hence, the measure of the angle that is equal to its complement is 45°.

(ii) Let the measure of the required angle be x°.

Then, in the case of supplementary angles: x + x=180°

= 2x = 180°

= x = 90°

Hence, measure of the angle that is equal to its supplement is 90°.
