Question

The difference of complimentary angles is 10 degree. find the measure of the angles.

Answer 1

The angles are 50 , 40

Explanation:

Let 'x' be an angle.

So, its complementary angle = 90 - x

Difference of complimentary = 10

x - (90 - x) = 10

x - 90 + x = 10

x + x - 90 = 10

2x - 90 = 10

2x = 10 +90

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

So, the angles are 50 , 40
