Call the smaller acute angle x and the larger y


\n" ); document.write( "y=4x


\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 so


\n" ); document.write( "x+y+90=180 and thus x+y=90.


\n" ); document.write( "Solve by substitution.


\n" ); document.write( "y=4x so


\n" ); document.write( "x+4x=90
\n" ); document.write( "5x=90
\n" ); document.write( "x=18


\n" ); document.write( "y=4x=4(18)=72
\n" ); document.write( "
