Complimentary angles add to 90 degrees. So, x + y = 90. Also, we know the difference is 12 degrees. So, x - y = 12. (Note that it really doesn't matter which angle corresponds to x and y. The way it is set up here is x is the larger angle.) Now solve the system: x + y = 90 x - y = 12 2x = 102 x = 51 y = 90 - 51 = 39 So the two angles are 51 degrees and 39 degrees.
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
