Let x = second angle
\n" ); document.write( "4x-5 = first angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 4x-5 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "5x-5 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "5x=95
\n" ); document.write( "x=19 Second angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x-5 = First angle
\n" ); document.write( "4(19) - 5=76-5 = 71 = First angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "19+71=90\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2
