Answer:

In a right triangle, one angle measures 90 degrees, which is the largest angle. The sum of the two smaller angles must be equal to the difference between 180 degrees (the sum of all angles in a triangle) and 90 degrees (the measure of the right angle). Therefore, the sum of the two smallest angles in a right triangle is always equal to 90 degrees.


Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Answer: 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: The sum of all of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees and the right angle is 90 degrees which means that the other two angles equals 90 degrees.
