Question

Find the measures of two complementary angles if the difference in the measures of the two angles is 12.

Answer 1

51 and 39

Explanation:

x-(90-x)=12

2x-90=12

2x=12+90

2x=102

x=102/2

x=51

Now one angle is 51 so other angles will be:

90-51=39

Answer 2

Answer: 51 degrees and 39 degrees

Explanation:

x - (90 - x) = 12

2x - 90 = 12

2x = 102

x = 102/2 = 51
