Answer to Problem 34WE
The measure of a complement of an angle can be equal to exactly half the measure of supplement of the angle only for the angle zero
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The measure of a complement of an angle is exactly halt the measure of a supplement of the angle
Suppose that the measure of the angle be
Then the measure of its supplement is
Then the measure of its complement is
The measure of a complement of the angle is exactly half the measure of the supplement of the angle implies that
Simplifying this gives
This is possible only if the measure of the angle is
Thus, the measure of a complement of an angle can be equal to exactly half the measure of supplement of the angle only for the angle zero
