Answer:

54° and 36°

Explanation:

complementary angle sum to 90°

the 2 angles are in the ratio 3 : 2 = 3x : 2x ( x is a multiplier )

sum the 2 angles and equate to 90

3x + 2x = 90

5x = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 18

Then

3x = 3 × 18 = 54

2x = 2 × 18 = 36

the two angles are 54° and 36°
