Question

an angle is ten less than its complement

Answer 1

Let one angle be A, the other is 90-A.
Now, A-(90-A)=10, therefore A=50.
Thus, the angles are 50 degrees and 40 degrees respectively.

Answer 2

Hi ,

Let x and ( 90 - x ) are

Complementary angles

According to the problem given ,

x = 90 - x -10

x + x = 80

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40

One angle = x = 40°

Second angle = 90 - x

= 90 - 40

= 50°

I hope this helps you.
