You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference between the measures of two complementary angles is 62 degrees. Determine the measures of the two angles.
----------------------
Complementary, so x + y = 90
Diff = 62::::, so x - y = 62
-----------------
Add to get:
2x = 152
x = 76 degrees
y = 90-76 = 14 degrees
