Question 168475: An angle is 10 degrees More than its complement . Find the angle ang its Complement

Answer by 303795(602) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The complement of an angle and the angle add together to get 90 degrees.
If the angle is represented by x then the complement will be x - 10 because the complement is 10 degrees less than x.
The two angles add to make 90 degrees so

so x = 50 degrees
The complement will be 10 degrees less which is 40 degrees.
