complemetary means 2 angles, when added together equal 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a and be be the complementary angles so a+b=90 ....let b=a-25....so plug b's value into the equation a+b=90
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a+a-25=90
\n" ); document.write( "2a=115
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=57.5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "so \"highlight%28b=57.5-25=32.5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "57.5+32.5=90 and 57.5-32.5=25
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
