Question

The difference of two complementary angles is 40 degree .Find the angles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that Sum of all the angles should be 90 degree for it to be complementary...

Let the angles be x and y degrees..

A/Q,

x-y=40........(1)

But,

x+y=90.......(2) [Definition of complementary angles]

By eliminating (1) and (2) we get,

x=25 degrees..

Putting the value of x in eq.(2) we get ,

y=65°

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one no. Be x

Therefore its complementary no. Would be 90-x (coz both of them add to 90)

According to the question

X-(90-x) = 40

x -90 +x = 40

2x-90=40

2x =40+90

2x =130

X= 65

Therefore the other would be 90-65 =25
