You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming you mean \"angle 1 and angle 2 add to 90 degrees\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so that would mean \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+5x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "9x/9 = 90/9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So angle 1 is 4x = 4*10 = 40 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
