Question

Two suplimentry angles differ by 38. Find the angles.

Answer 1

............

Supplimentary angles are the angles whose sum is 180°.

Let the two angles be x and y.

x-y=38
So, x = 38+y

x + y = 180
38 + y + y = 180
2y = 180-38
2y = 142
y = 142/2 = 71°

x = 38+71
x = 109°

Therefore, the two angles are 71° & 109°.
