Question

The difference in the measure of 2 complementary angles 12°. Find the measure of the angle​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

two angles are Said to be complementary if the sum of both is 90°.

difference between both angles is given. therefore, let z and y be two angels. so,

z+y=90 1

and, ac to question.

z -y=12.

z=12+y 2

placing 2 in 1, we get,

(12+y)+y=90

12+2y=90

2y=90-12

y=78/2

y=39

we got the value of y, now put value of y in either of equations you will get same answer,

in 1,

z+39=90

z=90-39

z=51

now in 2,

z-39=12

z=12+39

z=51

therefore, 51 and 39

therefore, 51 and 39
