Two angles are supplementary. The smaller angle is $\text{36°}$ less than the larger angle. Find the measures of both angles.

Two angles are complementary. The smaller angle is $\text{34°}$ less than the larger angle. Find the measures of both angles.

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is $\text{52°}$ more than the smaller angle. Find the measures of both angles.

Measurement A city engineer plans to build a footbridge across a lake from point $\text{X}$ to point $\text{Y},$ as shown in the picture below. To find the length of the footbridge, she draws a right triangle $\text{XYZ},$ with right angle at $\text{X}.$ She measures the distance from $\text{X}$ to $\text{Z},800$ feet, and from $\text{Y}$ to $\text{Z},\mathrm{1,000}$ feet. How long will the bridge be?
