Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 78 deg. Find the measures of the angles.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the angles be \"x\" and \"90-x\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (1/2)(90-x) = 78
\n" ); document.write( "x + 45 -(x/2) = 78
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)x = 33
\n" ); document.write( "x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is the measure of the smaller angle?
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 24
\n" ); document.write( "What is the measure of the other angle?
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 66
