Respuesta :

Let c represent the complement.

angle = c - 38
Complement = c

equation :

c - 38 + c = 180
2c - 38 = 180
2c = 218
c = 109

First angle is 71 degrees and the complement is 109.

The measures of the angles are: 64°  and 26°.

Recall: Two angles are complement of each other if they add up to the sum of 90° .

Thus,

Let [tex]x[/tex] represent the first angle

The second angle = [tex](x-38)^{o}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]x + (x - 38) = 90[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x + x - 38 = 90\\2x - 38 = 90\\2x - 38 + 38 = 90 + 38\\2x = 128\\x = 64[/tex]

The first angle, x, is 64°

The second angle = [tex]x - 38[/tex]

Plug in the value of x

[tex]= 64 - 38\\= 26[/tex]

Therefore, the measures of the two angles are 64°  and 26°
