MCQ
The angle that is three times as large as its complement is:
  • A
    $135^\circ $
  • $67.5^\circ$
  • C
    $50.5^\circ$
  • D
    $45^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$67.5^\circ$
 Let the measure of the angle be $x$ degrees.
Since it is given that the angle is three times as large as its complement, it means
$x = 3 (90 - x)$
$\Rightarrow x = 270 - 3x$
$\Rightarrow x + 3x = 270$
$\Rightarrow 4x = 270$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{270}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x = 67.5$
Therefore, the measure of the angle is $67.5^\circ .$
