Answer:
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°.
