\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 3 angles of a triangle is 180º.
\n" ); document.write( "The right angle is 90, so the other 2 total 90.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 12x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4.5º
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 36º
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 54º
\n" ); document.write( "
