Sagot :

The larger angle is 55 deg at the larger angle.

We have to know which angles are called Complementary Angles...

if we add two angles and the total will be equal to 90 deg

let's say one angle is x and  another angle is  y

as they are complementary angles from the definition we can write the equation x + y =  90

one angle is 20 deg more  than another one  so from the above condition  we write x = 20 + y

Substitute the value of x  in the first eaquation we get, 20 + y + y =  90

Then,  20 + 2y =  90

subtracting 20 from both sides,

 2y  =  90-20 = 70  

 dividing both sides by 2,

2y/ 2 = 70 / 2

 y  =  35

 So we got one angle is 35 deg

another angle is  35 + 20 = 55 deg.

Our answer is 55 deg the larger angle.
