Question

Two angles are complementary. Their difference is 10degrees. Find the angles.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle is x and other is y . x is greater than y .

therefore

x + y = 90

x - y = 10

by adding we get

2x= 100

x= 50

so , y = 40 .

Answer 2

Answer:

let one angle be x

sum is 90°

so other angle =90-x

diff.=10°

(90-x)-x=10

90-x-x=10

90-2x=10

90-10=2x

2x=80

x=80/2

x=40°

check

50-40°=10°

50+40°=90°

hence verified
