The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down clearly: ### Step 1: Understand the complement of an angle The complement of an angle \( x \) is given by the formula: \[ \text{Complement} = 90^\circ - x \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation According to the problem, the complement of the angle \( x \) is equal to one fourth of a right angle (which is \( 90^\circ \)). Therefore, we can write the equation as: \[ 90^\circ - x = \frac{1}{4} \times 90^\circ \] ### Step 3: Calculate one fourth of a right angle Calculating one fourth of \( 90^\circ \): \[ \frac{1}{4} \times 90^\circ = 22.5^\circ \] Now, substitute this value back into the equation: \[ 90^\circ - x = 22.5^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), rearrange the equation: \[ x = 90^\circ - 22.5^\circ \] Calculating the right side: \[ x = 67.5^\circ \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the angle \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{67.5^\circ} \] ---
