The difference in the measures of two complementary angles is 12°.find the measures of the angles.

let the smaller angle be x

therefore bigger angle = x +12

complementary angle = 90

therefore the 2 angles are = x + x +12 = 90

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?2x + 12 = 90

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?2x = 90 - 12 = 78

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2x = 78

therefore x = 78 / 2 = 39

therefore x + 12 = 39 + 12 = 51

therefore two angles are 39 and 51

hope it helped u............ ? ? ? ? ? ??
