Question

The measures of the acute angles of a right triangle have a ratio of 1:8. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

Answer 1

SMALLER ANGLE = 10 °

Explanation:

1:8= 1x + 8x

1x +8x = 90°

9x = 90°

90/9

=10°

1x10°=10°

Answer 2

180 - 90 = 90

1 + 8 = 9

90/9 = 10

1 X 10 = 10

8 X 10 = 80

smaller angle is 10 degrees
