Two angles are complementary. The smaller angle is 24° less than the larger angle. Find the measures of
both angles.

Answer 1

The bigger angle is 57 degrees

The smaller angle is 33 degrees

Explanation:

complimentary is that two angles will add up to 90 degrees

Lets say one angle is x, and the other is y.

the smaller angle is x, so it is be x-24degrees

x+(x-24)=90

2x=114

x=57 degrees

y=33degrees
