You can put this solution on YOUR website!
def and abc are complementary angles and abc is three times as large as def.
\n" ); document.write( "determine the measure of each angles.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = angle abc
\n" ); document.write( "then it's complement, def = (90-x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "it says,\"abc is three times as large as def. \", therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3(90-x)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 270 - 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x = 270
\n" ); document.write( "now you should be able to solve this \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
