A triangle equals 180 degrees total. So, a right triangle means one of the angles is 90 degrees. We also know that another angle equals 29 degrees. So, we can subtract those two numbers from 180, which gives us 61 degrees. So, the other acute angle is 61 degrees, for that is the only number possible to make it 180 degrees.
