Question

two complementary angles differ by 12° .find the angles​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

two complementary angles differ by = 12. bigger number = (x+12)°. complementary angles = 90°. ... (x+12)° = 39°+ 12° = 51° = biggest number.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that,

complementary angles add up to 90 degree

let one of the angle be 'x'

let the other be x-12 (according to the question)

x + (x-12) = 90

2x = 90+12

2x = 102

x = 102/2

x= 51

substituting x in 'x-2' we get

x-12= 51-12 = 39

therefore the two angles are 51 and 39.
