Answer:

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of one angle in degrees

y ----> the measure of the complementary angle in degrees

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

so

x+y=90 ----> equation A

we have that

x=y-10 ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(y-10)+y=90\\2y-10=90\\2y=100\\y=50

Find the value of x

x=50-10=40

therefore

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees
