x = measure of angle 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = measure of angle 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m<1 is twice the measure of its complement (<2)\" so, \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m < 1 = 2*( m < 2)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2*y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two angles are complementary, so they add to 90 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2y+y = 90 ... replaced x with 2y (see equation above)
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "3y/3 = 90/3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If y = 30, then x = 2*y = 2*30 = 60\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two angles are 30 and 60
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
