MCQ
If an angle is eight times its complementary angle, then the measurement of the angle is:
  • A
    $90^\circ$
  • B
    $20^\circ$
  • $80^\circ$
  • D
    $160^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$80^\circ$

 If the angle is $x^\circ ,$ then by hypothesis
$\Rightarrow x^\circ = 8 (90^\circ - x^\circ )$
$\Rightarrow 720 = 8x^\circ + x^\circ $
or $ 9x^\circ = 720^\circ $
$\therefore x = 80^\circ $
