Answer» Answer: Two angels are said to be complementary when their sum is 90° Let ONE angle be x then other will be (x -12°) ACCORDING to question. x + (x - 12°) = 90° ( complementary angles) => 2x - 12°= 90° => 2x = 90° + 12° => 2x = 102° => x = 102°/2 => x = 51° and (x - 12°) = 51° - 12° = 39° So, the angles are 39° and 5

Answer:

Two angels are said to be complementary when their sum is 90°

Let ONE angle be x

then other will be (x -12°)

ACCORDING to question.

x + (x - 12°) = 90° ( complementary angles)

=> 2x - 12°= 90°

=> 2x = 90° + 12°

=> 2x = 102°

=> x = 102°/2

=> x = 51°

and (x - 12°) = 51° - 12° = 39°

So, the angles are 39° and 5
