\"Two angles are complementary and the measure of one angle is 40degrees less than the measure of the other. How many degrees are in each angle?\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Two angles are complementary if the sum is 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = one of the two angles
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x-40 = other angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x-40 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x + x-40 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 130
\n" ); document.write( "x = 65 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Other angle:
\n" ); document.write( "x-40 = 65-40 = 25 degrees \n" ); document.write( "
