Not really a formula, but I'll give you a good first step.

Suppose the angle is x. Then the supplement is 180 - x, and the complement is 90-x, by definition. Now, we have

180 - x = 4(90 - x).

Now you can solve for x.

A compliment of an angle might be, "That's a nice looking angle."
The complement is 90� - the angle.
