Answer: 20° & 70°

Explanation:

We know complementary angles will add up to 90° and we also know we can divide the total by 9 parts because our ratio is 2 parts to every 7 parts.

To find each individual part size...

9x=90

x=10

so use our ratio...

2x10=20 for first angle

7x10=70 for second angle
