Answer: 28.75° and 61.25°

Explanation:

A complementary angle equals 90°.

Let the measure of the angle be a

Therefore, its complement will be:

= 90-a.

The complement of an angle is 25 less than 3 times the angles itself can be written as:

90-a = 3a - 25

90 + 25 = 3a + a

115 = 4a

a = 115/4

a= 28.75

Since the angle is 28.75°, the complement will be:

= 90° - 28.75°

= 61.25°

The angles are 28.75° and 61.25°
