document.write( "If the ratio of the three angles is 1:3:5, then the smallest angle is 1 part, the next larger angle is 3 parts, and the largest angle is 5 parts for a total of 1 plus 3 plus 5 equals 9 parts.  The sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.  Dividing 180 by 9 means that 1 part is 20 degrees.  Since the smallest angle is 1 part, the smallest angle must be 20 degrees.\r<BR>\n" );
