.
An angle measures 61.8 more than the measurement of its complementary angle. 
What is the measure of each angle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let the unknown angle be x degrees.


Then the complementary angle is  (90-x) degrees.


The problem says


    x - (90-x) = 61.8 degrees.


Simplify, solve and find x


    2x = 61.8 + 90

    2x = 151.8

     x = 151.8/2 = 75.9  degrees.    <U>ANSWER</U>
