(b) 399
(c) 51°
(d) (161°)​

Answer 1

hey mate .

the measure of complementary angle is 90 degrees the correct will be option 51 degree .

Answer 2

the larger angle is 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

complimentary angeles means the sum of two angeles is 90°

let the angeles are x and y

then, x+y=90

=> x=90-y

again ,x-y=12

puting the value of x,

90-y-y=12

=> 90-2y=12

=> -2y=12-90= -78

=> y= -78/-2=39

x=90-39=51

the langer angle is 51°
