Question

The difference in the measures of two
complementary angles is 12 degree . Find the measures of the angle

Answer 1

Answer:

a-b=12

a+b=90

add both equations

2a=102

a=51, b= 39

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 51 degrees.

y = 39 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of complementary angles = 90 degree

Given Difference of complementary angles =  12 degree

Let the complementary angles be x&y.

So, x+y = 90              ----------(1)

And, x-y = 12              ----------(2)

So, x = 51 degrees.

y = 39 degrees.

Hope this helps.....
