The smaller of the complementary angles is 12 less than the larger angle. Find the measure of the angles
\n" ); document.write( " let x= larger of the complementary angles
\n" ); document.write( " x-12=smaller of the complementary angles
\n" ); document.write( "x+x-12=90
\n" ); document.write( "2x=78
\n" ); document.write( "x=39
\n" ); document.write( "x+12=51
\n" ); document.write( "larger of the complementary angles=51º
\n" ); document.write( "smaller of the complementary angles=39º
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
