if the difference between two complementary angle is 12 degree then find the greater angle
pls solved the question​

1 thought on “if the difference between two complementary angle is 12 degree then find the greater angle<br />pls solved the question​”

1. Step-by-step explanation:

   If two angle are complementary, the sum of their measure is 90 degree.

   Let one angle = x

   it’s compliment = ( 90°–x)

   According to question

   x- ( 90°–x) = 12°

   x – 90° + x = 12°

   2x = 12° + 90° = 102

   x= 102/2

   x= 51°

   Therefore its complement= ( 90°–x) = 90° – 51° = 39°

   The difference in the two angles is 51° – 39° = 12 degree

   so, that the measure of the two complementary angle are 51 degree and 39 degree

   so the greater angle is 51 °

   hope it helps you
