Question

two complemantary angles differ by 12°,find the angles.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary angles add to 90°

let the angles be x and y

so, x+y = 90

and, as given, x-y = 12

by adding both equations,

(x+y) + (x-y) = 90+12

2x = 102

x = 51

y = 90-x

y = 90-51

y = 39

therefore, the two angles are 51° and 39°.
