Answer:

26, 64

Explanation:

We can name the first acute angle x and the second acute angle y. We know that x=2(y+6) but we also need another equation to solve the problem. Since we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees and this is a right triangle, the two acute angles sum will be equal to 90 degrees. That would be our second equation, x+y=90. Now we can just substitute the first equation into the second one: 2(y+6)+y=90 -> 2y+12+y=90 ->3y=78 -> y=26

Now we can substitute y into one of the original equations and solve for x: x+26=90 -> x=64

Answer:

26, 64

Explanation:

we have :

angle 90°

acute angle x

acute angle 2(x+6)

The sum of the angles in a triangle has to be 180° so

90 +x+2(x+6) = 180

90 +x +2x+12 = 180

3x = 180 -90-12

x= 78/3 = 26°

the other acute angle is 2(26+6) = 64°
