Answer

Given,

⇒ tan (A + B) = 3\sqrt{3}

⇒ tan (A + B) = tan 60°

⇒ A + B = 60° ……….(1)

⇒ tan (A - B) = 1

⇒ tan (A - B) = tan 45°

⇒ A - B = 45° ……….(2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get :

⇒ A + B + A - B = 60° + 45°

⇒ 2A = 105°

⇒ A = 1052\dfrac{105}{2}

⇒ A = 5212°52\dfrac{1}{2}\degree

Substituting value of A in (2) we get :

1052\dfrac{105}{2} - B = 45°

⇒ B = 1052\dfrac{105}{2} - 45°

⇒ B = 105902\dfrac{105 - 90}{2}

⇒ B = 152\dfrac{15}{2}

⇒ B = 712°7\dfrac{1}{2}\degree

Hence, A = 5212°52\dfrac{1}{2}\degree and B = 712°7\dfrac{1}{2}\degree
