    The measure of the smaller angle is 8 degrees.

    The measure of the larger angle is 82 degrees.

    82-8=74

    82+8=90

    What I did:

    complementary angle=90 degrees.

    n=74+m

    m = less than 16

    n = measure of larger angle

    Angle 1=x

    Angle 2=x+74

    2x+74=90

    90-74=16

    16=2x

    16/2=8

    Measure of smaller angle=8 degrees

    Measure of larger angle=90-8=82.
