Question

A right triangle has one angle that measures 5°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?

Answer 1

85

Explanation:

There are three angles in a triangle

Since it is a right triangle one angle is 90 degrees

We are given one angle is 5 degrees

Let the third angle be x

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

x+5+90 =180

Combine like terms

x+95 = 180

Subtract 95 from each side

X+95-95 = 180-95

x = 85
