Question

an angle measures 62° less than the measure of its complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle? and

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

Let the measure of one angle be \(x\). Then the measure of its complementary angle is \(90 - x\). Given that one angle measures \(62^{\circ}\) less than its complementary angle, so \(x=(90 - x)-62\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Step3: Find the measure of the complementary angle

The complementary angle is \(90 - x\). Substitute \(x = 14\) into it, \(90-14 = 76\)

Answer:

\(14^{\circ}\) and \(76^{\circ}\)
