x+(90-x)/2=89.5
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+90-x)/2=89.5
\n" ); document.write( "x+90=2*89.5
\n" ); document.write( "x+90=179
\n" ); document.write( "x=179-90
\n" ); document.write( "x=89 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "90-89=1 degree.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "89+(90-89)/2=89.5
\n" ); document.write( "89+1/2=89.5
\n" ); document.write( "89.5=89.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
