complement of A = 90 - A
\n" ); document.write( "supplement of A = 180 - A
\n" ); document.write( "13(90 - A) = 4(180 - A)
\n" ); document.write( "1170 -13A = 720 -4A
\n" ); document.write( "add -720 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "450 -13A = -4A
\n" ); document.write( "add 13A to each side
\n" ); document.write( "450 = 9A
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 9
\n" ); document.write( "50 = A
\n" ); document.write( "Angle A is 50 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that 13(90-50) = 4(180-50)
\n" ); document.write( "13(40) = 4(130)
\n" ); document.write( "520 = 520
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
