Question

if the difference between two complementary angle is 12 degree then find the greater angle
pls solved the question​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angle are complementary, the sum of their measure is 90 degree.

Let one angle = x

it's compliment = ( 90°-x)

According to question

x- ( 90°-x) = 12°

x - 90° + x = 12°

2x = 12° + 90° = 102

x= 102/2

x= 51°

Therefore its complement= ( 90°-x) = 90° - 51° = 39°

The difference in the two angles is 51° - 39° = 12 degree

so, that the measure of the two complementary angle are 51 degree and 39 degree

so the greater angle is 51 °
