You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First name your angles.
\n" ); document.write( "How about \"A\" and \"C\".
\n" ); document.write( "You know
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BC=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "You also know that,
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"A%2B%281%2F2%29C=89\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract eq. 2 from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BC-A-%281%2F2%29C=90-89\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F2%29C=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28C=2%29\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2B2=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=88%29\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
