Question

In a right triangle, one of the angles measures 37°. What is the measure of the other angle?

A. 37°
B. 43°
C. 53°
D. 87°
E. 117°

Im pretty sure the answer is C: 53° because a right triangle equals 90° and 90° - 37° = 53° but I want to double check.

Answer 1

Yes your right, I’m just writing because I need to answer questions to ask more questions

Answer 2

Yep, 53°

Explanation:

Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180.

We have two angles: 90° (since it is a right angle triangle) and 37°

Therefore 180 - (90+37) = 180 - 127

Answer is 53°
