Answer:

let 1st angle be x

and another angle be x+50°

two angles are said to be complementary,if the some of their measures is 90°

so,

x+x+50=90

2x+50 =90

2x=90-50

x=40/2

:-x= 20 ....... 1st angle

another angle (x+50)=20+50=70°

Explanation:

When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles.

So

x + x + 50° = 90°

2x = 90° - 50°

2x = 40°

x = 40°/2

x = 20°

x + 50 = 20 + 50 = 70°

Hope it helps :)
