Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let c represent the smaller of the two angles. (c + 46) the larger.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c + (c + 46) =90
\n" ); document.write( "2*c + 46 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2*c = 44
\n" ); document.write( "c = 22 the smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(c + 46) or 68 the larger angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer:
\n" ); document.write( "22 + 68 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
