Complementary angles combine to form a right angle (90° or π/2 radians)
So to find the complementary angle, subtract from π/2:
π/2 - 13π/37
Get a common denominator of 74:
(37/37) * π/2 - (2/2) * 13π/37
= 37π/74 - 26π/74
Now subtract the numerators:
(37π - 26π) / 74
= 11π / 74

Complementary angles add up to 90°. In terms of radians, this is (1/2)π radians.
So if we have the complementary angle an unknown "x", we can set up an equation that we can solve:
(13/37)π + x = (1/2)π
Multiply both sides by 74 to get rid of the fractions:
26π + 74x = 37π
Subtract 26π from both sides:
74x = 11π
Divide both sides by 74:
x = (11/74)π radians.
