-------
angle:: x
complement: 90-x
------
Equation::
x = (1/2)(90-x)

Complementary angles add up to °.
let's an angle be and its complement
given:
the measure of an angle whose measure is of its complement angle
....eq.1
.....eq.2....substitute from eq.1
....solve for =>
so, the measure of an angle whose measure is of its complement angle
is
