Question

The difference between two complementary angles is 40. find measure of two angles

Answer 1

Let the angles be x,y.

1. We know that x+y = 90 [complementary angles
2. Given x-y = 40

By adding 1 and 2 we get,

2x = 130

x = 65

y = 90-65 = 25

Therefore, the measures of the angles are 65 and 25 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer:

two angles are a and b

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=90

a-b=40

a=65

b=25
