Question 545905: two complementary angles differ by 10 degree. The large side is ?
Answer by Student A(4)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90 degrees. Let the smaller angle be x. If they differ by 10 degrees then the larger angle would be x + 10 => x + x + 10 = 90 => 2x = 80 => x = 40
If the larger angle is x+10 and x=40 then the larger angle is equal to 50
