Question

A right triangle has one angle that measures 16°. What is the measure of the other acute angle

Answer 1

Your answer is 180 degrees

Answer 2

3rd angle = 74

Explanation:

Remark

All triangles have 180 degrees.

In addition a right triangle has 1 angle that equals 90 degrees.

That means the other 2 must add to 90.

Givens

1 angle = 90

1 angle = 16

3rd angle = x

Solution

x + 16 + 90 = 180 Sum 3 angles to 180 degrees. Combine

x + 106 = 180 Subtract 106 from both sides.

x = 180 - 106 Combine

Answer: x = 74
