two angles are complement of each other if they add to 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Two angels are supplement of each other if the add to 180 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let A=acute angle, O=Obtuse angle
\n" ); document.write( "then complement of A = 90-A, supplement of O = 180-O\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given
\n" ); document.write( "1) A+O =160
\n" ); document.write( "2) (90-A)+1/2(180-O)=75 You have two equations and two unknowns\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify the second equation:
\n" ); document.write( "90-A+90-O/2=75
\n" ); document.write( "105=A + O/2
\n" ); document.write( "from first equation solve for A=160-O and substitute in 105=A+O/2
\n" ); document.write( "105=160-O+O/2
\n" ); document.write( "-55=-O/2
\n" ); document.write( "110=O and A=160-O=50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
