∠DFG and ∠JKL are complementary angles

Measure of each angle

Given :

∠DFG and ∠JKL are complementary angles. m∠DFG = x + 5,

and m∠JKL = x − 1

When two angles are complementary then the sum of angles is 90 degrees

∠DFG and ∠JKL are complementary angles.

So,

Now replace the expressions and solve for x

Now replace x with 43 and find out each angle
