    63°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles sum to 90°

    let the smaller angle be x then the larger angle = x + 36, the sum is then

    x + x + 36 = 90

    2x + 36 = 90 (subtract 36 from both sides)

    2x = 54 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 27

    larger angle = x + 36 = 27 + 36 = 63°
