\n" ); document.write( "Given the ratio 3:5, let the two angles have measures 3x and 5x.

\n" ); document.write( "Since the two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180 degrees:

\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B5x+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+22.5\"

\n" ); document.write( "The angle is 3x = 67.5 degrees; its supplement is 5x = 112.5 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
