An angle is greater than its complementary by 20°. What will be the measure of the angle?
Let the angle = $$\theta$$
Its complementary angle = $$(\theta + 20$$°$$)$$
Sum of an angle and its complementary angle = 90°
=> $$\theta + (\theta + 20$$°$$) = 90$$°
=> $$2 \theta = 90$$°$$ - 20$$°$$ = 70$$°
=> $$\theta = \frac{70}{2} = 35$$°
$$\therefore$$ Measure of the angle = $$35 + 20 = 55$$°
