We know by definition that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. We can set up an equation using the ration given:
17x+13x=90, with x representing the amount you need to multiply the ratio by to get 90.
17x+13x=90
30x=90
x=3
We now know that the number we multiply the ratio by is 3. The smaller number in the ratio is 13, and so therefore we multiply it by 3.
3*13=39
The answer is 39 degrees.
Each exterior angle = 360 / 40 = 9 degrees. So each interior angle = 180 - 9
= 171 degrees.

Answer:
13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313
Step-by-step explanation:
If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...
x(13 -x) = -12
x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify
x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square
(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25
x -6.5 = √54.25
x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313
and the other number is ...
13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313
The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
