Translate to a system of equations and then solve:

The difference of two complementary angles is 20degrees. Find the measures of the angles.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The measure of angles are 55∘and 35∘.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

We are given that the difference between two complementary angles is 20∘.

02

Step 2. Formation of equations.

We know that the sum of complementary angles is equal to 90∘.

Let the one angle be x, and the other angle will be y.

So, as per the given statement the equation will be,

x+y=90∘

y=90∘-x

localid="1644599820429" x-y=20∘x-(90∘-x)=20∘x-90∘+x=20∘2x-90∘=20∘2x=20∘+90∘2x=110∘

Dividing by 2, we get

x=55∘

And the other angle will be90∘-55∘=35∘

03

Step 4. Checking the solution  

Checking the solution by putting the value of x,yin the equations, we get

x+y=90∘55∘+35∘=90∘90∘=90∘x-y=20∘55∘-35∘=20∘20∘=20∘

This is true, hence the solution is correct.
