\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Let x be one of the angle, then it's complement would be x/2 
\n" );
document.write( "the equation:
\n" );
document.write( "x = 90 -x/2
\n" );
document.write( "solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "(3/2)x = 90
\n" );
document.write( "x = (2/3)90
\n" );
document.write( "x = 60 degrees   the measure of the angle asked for\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "Angle with measure of 60 degrees is twice the measure of its complement \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
