Two angles that add up to a right angle are called complementary angles.
Let the larger angle be x degrees, then the smallest angle is x - 15 degrees. So we have:
x + (x - 15) = 90
2x - 15 = 90
2x - 15 + 15 = 90 + 15
2x = 105
2x/2 = 105/2
x = 52.5
x - 15 = 52.5 - 15 = 37.5
Thus, the complementary angles are 37.5 and 52.5 degrees.

the larger angle is 60 and the smaller angle is 30.complimentary angles are 2 angles forming 90 degrees.
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees so the complementary angle to 70 degrees has a measure of 20 deg.
The question is contradictory as complimentary angles are defined as having a sum of 90 degrees.
It is 15 degrees because complementary angles add up to 90 degrees
If two angles are complementary, then they equal 90 degrees. If one angle is 62 degrees we subtract it from 90 and get 38 degrees.
