Hi, \n" ); document.write( "Note: the sum of supplementary angles is 180 \n" ); document.write( "Let x represent one of the angles. (3*x) the other angle. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x + (3x) = 180 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "4x = 180\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 45 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Definition of an obtuse angle. An angle between (but not including) 90deg and 180 deg \n" ); document.write( "the other angle: 3*x = 135 is the obtuse angle \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "check you answer \n" ); document.write( "45 + 135 = 180 \n" ); document.write( " |
