Problema Solution
if the difference between 2 complementary angle is 26 degree what are the measures of the angles
Answer provided by our tutors
Two Angles are Complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.
let 'x' and 'y' be the angles
x + y = 90
the difference between 2 complementary angle is 26 degree
x - y = 26
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 90
x - y = 26
we find
x = 58 degrees
y = 32 degrees
