Well from what we know about triangle is that they all add up to 180 degrees!

A right triangle would have a 90 degree angle and from the given measurements we know that the other on is 24 degrees.

So we simply subtract!!

180 - 90 = 90 degrees

90 - 24 = 66 degrees

So the measure of the third angle is 66 degrees. :)

Hope this helps. c:
