Question

One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches. The remaining leg measures 6.3 inches. What is the measure of the angle

opposite the leg that is 6 inches long?
30
45
60°
90°

Answer 1

A. 30 degrees on edgen.

Answer 2

The measure of the angle opposite the leg that is 6 inches long is

45 degrees

Explanation:

One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches and the other two sides are equal to 6.3 inches

So the triangle is Right isosceles triangle.

A right triangle with the two legs (and their corresponding angles) equal. An isosceles right triangle therefore has angles of 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees.

That is

The sum of all the angles in the triangle is 180 degrees

Since it is a right isosceles triangle one angle will be 90 degrees and the sum of other two angles will be 90 degrees and equal

90 Degree = 45 + 45
