\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let measure of smallest angle be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then first angle = S + 20
\n" ); document.write( "Also, third angle = 2S\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since they’re supplementary, then we can say that:
\n" ); document.write( "S + S + 20 + 2S = 180
\n" ); document.write( "4S = 180 – 20
\n" ); document.write( "4S = 160
\n" ); document.write( "S, or smallest angle = \"160%2F4\", or \"highlight_green%2840%5Eo%29\"\r
