\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From that calculation result, subtract the sum of 130°, 90°, and 80° leaving you the sum of the measures of the remaining two angles.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let represent the measure of the smaller angle. Then the larger angle must measure . Furthermore, the sum:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just solve for to get the measure of the smaller of the two remaining angles. This will turn out to be the smallest of all 5 angles. The other one will be the largest of all 5. Discover its measure by multiplying the measure of the smallest angle by 2 and adding 30 degrees. Now that you know the measure of all 5 angles, it should be an easy matter to add the measures of the two smallest ones.\r
