Question

Help I was procrastinating on this question and I realized I have to turn it in tomorrow. Please help. You have to find the measurement of an acute angle

Answer 1

• x° = 22°
• (3x+2)° = 68°

Explanation:

You have acute angles in a right triangle x° and (3x+2)°, and you want to know their measures.

Complementary angles

The two acute angles in a right triangle have a sum of 90°:

x° +(3x +2)° = 90°

4x = 88 . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 2

x = 22

3x+2 = 3(22) +2 = 68

The two angles are 22° and 68°.
