    Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees

    Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees

    So if angle 2 is x

    Then angle 1 is x - 28

    And we can set up the equation

    x + (x-28) = 180

    2x - 28 = 180

    2x = 208

    x = 104

    And then the second equation is:

    Angle 1 + Angle 3 = 90

    Angle 1 = 104 - 28 = 76

    76 + Angle 3 = 90

    Angle 3 = 14

    So the angles are, again:

    ∠1 = 76

    ∠2 = 104

    ∠3 = 14
