Exercise 5.1 - Q4

Textbook Exercise Problem

Find the angle which is equal to its complement.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution:

  1. Step 1: Let the measure of the angle be x.
  2. Step 2: Its complement is also x.
  3. Step 3: By definition of complementary angles: x + x = 90°.
  4. Step 4: 2x = 90° => x = 45°.
Final Answer: 45°
Key Concept / Exam Strategy: The unique angle equal to its complement is half of 90°, which is 45°.
