document.write( "The ratio of the measure of two complementary angles is 5:4 
\n" );
document.write( "Let 5x and 4x represent the measure of the angles
\n" );
document.write( "what is the measure of the larger angle
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "    9x = 90
\n" );
document.write( "     x = 10°, 5x = 50° , the larger angle
\n" );
document.write( "CHECKING our answer*** (4x = 40°)
\n" );
document.write( "   50° + 40° = 90°
\n" );
document.write( "and 50°/40° = 5/4 \n" );
