Naveen · Answer 1

40 degrees. A set of complementary angles make up 90 degrees. 90 - 40 is 50, which is 10 more than forty.

Jayce Franklin · Answer 2

the smaller angle = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller angle.

Other angle = x + 10

x + x + 10 = 90

2x = 90 - 10

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40
