Two angles are complementary when they add up to 90 degrees. So,
\n" ); document.write( "90 degrees divided by 6 portions = 15 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "You divide it by 6 so you can end up with 5 + 1.
\n" ); document.write( "Thus, one angle is 15*5=75 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "The second angle is 15 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15%2B75=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
