Answer:

one angle is 20° and the other is 70°

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°.

Here it is given that an angle exceeds 3 times its complement by 10. So, we are taking the complement as x. Since it exceeds its complement 3 times, we are multiplying the complement 3 times. so we get
3x.

Now we also need to add 10, so we get the final equation
3x+10, which is the second angle.

As of now, first angle = x and second angle = 3x+10.

Since they are complementary angles, both angles add up to 90°

⇒ 1st angle + 2nd angle = 90°


x+3x+10 = 90 [since 3x and x are like expressions, we should add 3x + x = 4x]


4x = 90 - 10 [by transposing 10 from LHS to RHS]


4x = 80


x = (80)/(4) [by transposing 4 from LHS to RHS]


x = 20

∴The complementary angle is 20° and the given angle is [(3 × 20) + 10)] = 70°
