I tried this:

Explanation:

Ok...basically angle 5 and 6 are the same and adding angle 4 and 6 you shoulfd get #180^@#....
If you look at, say, angle 5, I would say that is #90^@+"something"#
Let us call this something #x#, so:
angle 5=angle 6 = #90^@+x#
as a consequence: angle 4 = #90^@-x#

From the supplementary condition we want that:

angle 4 + angle 6 = #180^@#

let us substitute our first guesses for the two angles (4 and 6):

#(90^@-x)+(90^@+x)=180^@#
rearranging:
#90^@cancel(-x)+90^@cancel(+x)=180^@#
which is true!

Does it make sense?

Given #/_5~=/_6#
and
from the figure it is evident that #" "/_4 and /_5"# are adjacent angles formed due to standing of one line segment on other.

So #/_4 + /_5=180^@->" supplementary" #

#=>/_4 + /_6=180^@->" supplementary" #

PROVED

(Replacing #/_5" by "/_6" as they are congruent"#)
