Let the angles be 3x and 2x.
So,
3x+2x=90°
5x=90°
x=18°
Therefore, the angle are
54° ,36°
Hence, this is the answer.

⛦ Given :
- Two complementary angles are in ratio 3 : 2
⛦ To find :
- The measure of each angle.
⛦ Solution :
As it is given that the two complementary angles are in the ratio 3 : 2.
So, Let us assume the first angle be 3x
And the second be 2x
Now, We know that :
★Sum of complimentary angle = 90°
A/Q
↦ 3x + 2x = 90°
↦ 5x = 90°
↦ x = 90/5
↦ x = 18
________
So, the value of first angle is :
•3x = 3 × 18 = 54°
•2x = 2 × 18 = 36°
-------------------------
Let's verify our answer!
As we know that,
Sum of complementary angles = 90°
So, Putting the value:
↬54° + 36° = 90°
↬90° = 90°
Thus, our angles are correct.
As L.H.S. = R.H.S.
