Explain and use the complementary-angle relationship between sine and cosine.

Solve a sine-cosine equation by using complementary acute angles

Problem

Angles \((n+10)°\) and \(20°\) are acute and satisfy \(\cos((n+10)°)=\sin(20°)\). Use the cofunction relationship to set \((n+10)+20=90\), then solve for \(n\).
