\n" ); document.write( "The other two angles are in a ratio of 6:13. What are the measures of those two angles?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "6x = the measure of one angle
\n" ); document.write( "13x = measure of the other angle
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 6x - 13x = 85
\n" ); document.write( "-19x = 85 - 180
\n" ); document.write( "-19x = -95
\n" ); document.write( "x = -95/-19
\n" ); document.write( "x = +5
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "6(5) = 30 degrees is one angle
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "13(5) = 65 degrees is the other
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check 30 + 65 + 85 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "
