Algebra.Com's Answer #619542 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the smaller one, x. \n" ); document.write( "The larger is then 5x. \n" ); document.write( "Add them to get 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Thus \n" ); document.write( "6x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "is what you use. \n" ); document.write( " |
