document.write( "Three angles are complementary(their sum is 90°) The ratio of their measures is 2:3:5.
\n" );
document.write( "Let 2x, 3x, 5x represent the measures of the angles
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( " 2x + 3x + 5x = 90°
\n" );
document.write( "      10x = 90°
\n" );
document.write( "        x = 9°
