You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 deg.
In a right-angled triangle, the two smaller angles are called the complementary angles.
Since tehy are complementary, then their sum is 90.
Call the two angles A and B, then
A + B = 90
A - B = 14
add the eqns,
2A = 104
A = 52
======
B = 38
