Answer:

ex.: 71 (see explanation)

Explanation:

The answers on this could vary. An acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees. However, you also have to remember that a triangle adds up to 180 degrees, so the angle cannot be so small that the third angle would be over 90. For my answer, I subtracted 38 from 180 (the whole triangle) and then divided by 2.

I hope this helps.
