Answer:
Complimentary angles are two angles that sum up to 90 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller angle be y degrees
Therefore, the larger angle = y + 40 degrees
y + y + 40 = 90
2y + 40 = 90
2y = 90 - 40 = 50
y = 50/2 = 25 degrees
y + 40 = 25 + 40 = 65 degrees
The smaller angle = 25 degrees
The larger angle = 65 degrees
