Find the measure of each angle. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Let the angle be \"x\". \n" ); document.write( "Then its complement is \"90-x\" \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "90-x = 4x-5 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 90 \n" ); document.write( "x = 18 degrees \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "90-x = 72 degrees \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
