Question

The difference between the two complimentary angles is 5 degrees, find one of the angle??

Answer 1

Let two complementary angles be theta and 90-theta
A/c to ques
Theta -(90- theta)=5
Theta -90+theta =5
2 theta=95
Theta=47.5 degree ans

Answer 2

Hi ,

let one angle = x°

it's complement = ( 90 - x )°

according to the problem given ,

difference = 5°
x - ( 90 - x ) = 5

x - 90 + x = 5

2x = 5 + 90

2x = 95

x = 95/2

x = 47.5

Therefore ,

one angle = x = 47.5°

it's complement = 90 - 47.5

= 42.5°

I hope this helps you.
