You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the complement
\n" ); document.write( "3/4 x = the angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the angles equals 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3/4 x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "4/4x + 3/4 x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "7/4 x = 90\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To \"undo\" multiplication by 7/4, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 7/4, which is 4/7.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2F4%29%2Ax+=+90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F7%29%2A%287%2F4%29%2Ax=+%284%2F7%29%2A90+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=+360%2F7+\" degrees = the complement of the angle. This just got UGLY!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F4%29x=+%283%2F4%29%2A%28360%2F7%29=+270%2F7\" = the angle. This is REALLY ugly!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does it check??? Add the angles together \"360%2F7%2B270%2F7=+630%2F7=90\" degrees! \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It checks!!\r
