You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. I think you mean complement, not supplement. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If x = 17 is the given angle, then the complement is
\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = 90-17 = 73 degrees \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Using the same formula as in problem 1 above, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 23
\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = 90 - 23 = 67 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
