Two angles are complimentary.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "----------- \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the measures of the first angle and half the second angle is 69.5
\n" ); document.write( "x + (1/2)y = 69.5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "find the measures of the angles
\n" ); document.write( "90-y + (1/2)y = 69.5
\n" ); document.write( "(-1/2)y = -20.5
\n" ); document.write( "y= 41 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "x + 41 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 49 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "what is the measure of the smaller angle?: 41 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "what is the measure of the other angle?: 49 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
