Q3 of 23 Page 94

The complement of an angle exceeds the angle by 60°. Then the angle is equal to

Let the required angle be x and it’s complement is y.


So,


y = 90 – x


Now, according to question;


Complement of the angle exceeds the angle by 60° i.e. y exceeds the x by 60°.


y – 60 = x


Now, putting the value of your in this equation,


(90 – x) – 60 = x


30 – x = x


2x = 30


x = 15°


Hence, required angle is 15°.
