Question

If two angles are complementary and one angle is 10∘greater than the other, then the smaller angle of the two is?

Answer 1

40 degrees. A set of complementary angles make up 90 degrees. 90 - 40 is 50, which is 10 more than forty.

Answer 2

the smaller angle = 40

Explanation:

Let x be the smaller angle.

Other angle = x + 10

x + x+ 10 = 90

2x = 90 - 10

2x= 80

x = 80/2

x = 40
