You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
*Note: The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees
.
Let c represent the smaller of the two angles. (c + 46) the larger.
.
c + (c + 46) =90
2*c + 46 = 90
2*c = 44
c = 22 the smaller angle
.
(c + 46) or 68 the larger angle
.
Check your answer:
22 + 68 = 90
