Answer:

0 < A < 90

0 < C < 90

Explanation:

If B is the right angle of the triangle, then the sum of the other angles, A and C, must equate 90° since all angles in a triangle sum to 180°:

A + C = 90

A and C could both be anything between 0 and 90, but they must satisfy the equation above:

0 < A < 90

0 < C < 90
