Step-by-step explanation:

______________________

Ratio = 2 : 3

Now let the angle be 2x and 3x

  • Complementary angle are 90°

Now....

2x + 3x = 90°

5x = 90°

x = 90° / 5

x = 18°

Now...

2x = 2 × 18° = 36°

3x = 3 × 18° = 54°

Answer:

  • 36°
  • 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the angles as 2x and 3x. Since it is mentioned they are complementary, we understand that the sum of the angles is 90°.

  • 2x + 3x = 90
  • 5x = 90
  • x = 18

The angles are :

  1. 2x = 2(18) = 36°
  2. 3x = 3(18) = 54°
