Answer: bigger angle=64 smaller angle=26

Explanation:

1. set up an equation

because the bigger angle is 14 less than 3 times the measurement of the smaller angle we can call the smaller angle x and the bigger angle 3x-14 knowing complementary angles are 90 degrees you can set up the following:x+3x-14=90

3.solve the equation

x+3x-14=90

4x-14=90 | combine like terms

4x=104 | add 14 on both sides

x=26 | divide by 4 on both sides

4. plug x in to your angle measures

1(26)=26

3(26)-14

78-14

64
