\n" ); document.write( "Complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees.


\n" ); document.write( "Call the first angle x, and the second (1/5)x. Their sum is 90.


\n" ); document.write( "x + (1/5)x = 90 (Add like terms).


\n" ); document.write( "(6/5)x=90 (divide both sides by 6, multiple both sides by 5).


\n" ); document.write( "x = 90*(5/6) = 75


\n" ); document.write( "X is 75, the other angle is (1/5)*75 = 15 degrees.

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
