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( " |
