Let x = the measure of the smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = the measure of the greater angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/2)(180-x)
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 180 - x
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Greater angle = 180 - x = 180 - 60 = 120\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The measure of the greater angle is 120 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "
