The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. In a right angle triangle one angle will be 90 degrees. And if one of the acute angles is already know then just minus 90 degrees and the known acute angle from 180 degrees to find the other acute angle.

180-90-known acute angle = unknown acute angle
