We can use trigonometry to find the measures of the two acute angles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will call the missing angles A and B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A is approximately arctan(7/18), which is read \"inverse tangent of 7/18.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use your scientific calculator to find arctan of (7/18).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will call the other angle B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B can be found using the following formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B = 180 - (90 + measure of angle A)\r
