Question

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 68° larger than the smaller angle. Find the

measure of both angles, and separate your answers with a comma.

Answer 1

Let x = the measure of the smaller angle
Let x + 68 = the measure of the larger angle
x + x + 68 = 90
2x + 68 = 90
2x = 22
x = 11º
x + 68 = 11 + 68 = 79º

11°, 79°
