In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 30 less than twice the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each angle. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 2 acute angles is 90 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90 \n" ); document.write( "x = 2y-30 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "2y-30 +y = 90 \n" ); document.write( "3y = 120 \n" ); document.write( "y = 40 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "x = 90-y \n" ); document.write( "x = 90-40 \n" ); document.write( "x = 50 \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( " |
