Answer:

30°

Explanation:

The angle sum theorem tells you the sum of angles in any triangle is 180°. A right triangle has one angle that is 90°, so the sum of the remaining two acute angles is 180° -90° = 90°. That is, the acute angles in a right triangle are complementary.

__

The other acute angle is ...

90° -60° = 30°
