Question

one of the acute angles in a right triangle has a measure of 34.6 degrees. What is the measure of the other acute angle

Answer 1

55.4

Explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

If we have a right triangle, one angle is 90

The other two angles must add to 90 degrees

Let the unknown angle be x

34.6 + x = 90

Subtract 34.6 from each side

34.6+x-34.6 = 90-34.6

x =55.4
