Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the angle is x .

Its supplement angle is  = [tex]180-x[/tex]

Its complement angle is = [tex]90-x[/tex]

given that, supplement of an angle is four and a half times as large as the complement of the angle.

It means the equation will be :

[tex](180-x)=4.5(90-x)[/tex]

[tex]180-x=405-4.5x[/tex]

taking similar terms aside

[tex]4.5x-x = 405-180[/tex]

[tex]3.5x =225[/tex]

Dividing 3.5 in both sides

[tex]x=\frac{405}{3.5} =115.71[/tex]

So the angle is 115.71

So,its complement angle will be = [tex]115.71-90=25.71[/tex]

So the answer is 25.71    :    Answer
