Answer:

Jon is trying to build a building using only equal triangle. He knows the first two sides of a right triangle but needs to know the third side. What is the third side. Answer: 45 degrees

Explanation:

All triangles no matter what size they are, must equal 180. Since the first angle is 90 degrees, the other two angles must equal 90 degrees to add up to 180. What I did was look up a right triangle and saw the two sides that are not 90 degrees and made them each half of 90, which 45. 45+45+90=180 :)
