Question

One angle of a right triangle measures 80 degrees what is the measure of the other acute angle

Answer 1

`90 + 80 + x = 180`

`x = 10`

Answer 2

Answer : The measure of the other acute angle is,
`10^o`

Step-by-step explanation :

Right angle triangle : It is a type of triangle in which the one angle is
`90^o`.

As we know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is equal to
`180^o`.

`\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^o`

Given:

`\angle A=80^o`

`\angle B=90^o`

Now put all the given value of angle in the above expression, we get:

`\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^o`

`80^o+90^o+\angle C=180^o`

`\angle C+170^o=180^o`

`\angle C=180^o-170^o`

`\angle C=10^o`

Thus, the measure of the other acute angle is,
`10^o`
