You can put this solution on YOUR website!
note: right triangle measures 90 deg.
\n" ); document.write( " Acute angle measures less than 90 deg.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse divided in ratio 3:5.
\n" ); document.write( "This means 3 parts : 5 parts
\n" ); document.write( " Add the parts 3 +5 = 8 parts.
\n" ); document.write( "So, a hypotenuse has 8 parts. lets find the measure in one part.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Right tri. 90° / 8parts = 11.25° is 1 part .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "3 : 5
\n" ); document.write( "3 * 11.25 : 5 * 11.25
\n" ); document.write( "33.75° : 56.25° final answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Those measurements are acute angles bec. They are less than 90°.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: add the acute angles together
\n" ); document.write( "33.75° + 56.25° = 90°
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
