document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Sum of the angles for a triangle = 180°
\n" );
document.write( "Note: isosceles triangle with one ∠ = 100°, the other two acute angles are equal
\n" );
document.write( "Let a represent the measure of each of the other two angles.
\n" );
document.write( " x + x + 100° = 180°
\n" );
document.write( "         2x = 80° 
\n" );
document.write( "          x = 40°, the measure of each of the other two angles \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
