\n" );
document.write( "If the measures of the exterior angles of the acute angles of a right triangle are 2x+15 and 3x+5, find the measures of the acute angles.
\n" );
document.write( "Ans:
\n" );
document.write( "Remember that the sum of the angle + the exterior angle is 180.
\n" );
document.write( "Also that the sum of the 3 angles of the triangle is 180. In the right triangle,
\n" );
document.write( "since one angle is 90, the sum of the other 2 acute angles is 90 as well.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "If the 2 acute angles are A and B,
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Similarly,
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "So \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "A + B = 90
\n" );
document.write( "So, 
\n" );
document.write( "Combining like terms,
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "So the first acute angle A =  =  = 
\n" );
document.write( "The second acute angle B =  =  = \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Hope you got it :) \n" );

\n" );
