My question is about finding the value of x on a right angle triangle. I have tried with pythagorean theorem and all, I just I guess freeze up and get confused.
\n" ); document.write( "The triangle goes as
\n" ); document.write( "right angle = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "top acute angle of triangle = 51
\n" ); document.write( "left acute angle = x
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If the right angle = 2x, then x = 45 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "left acute angle = x = 45 degs
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "That makes the sum of the angles
\n" ); document.write( "90 + 45 + 51 = 186 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "That won't work.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
