We can call the larger acute angle 2x and the smaller x. The sum of those two angles, plus the 90 degree angle, is 180, so\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + x + 90 = 180\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 30, so the angles are 30 and 60. \n" ); document.write( " |
