Let $\"A\"$ be the angle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=A-27\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Complementary angles sum to 90.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BC=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BA-27=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=58.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=58.5-27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=31.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
