Given :

The measure of one of the acute angles in a right triangle is 54 1/3° = 163/3°.

To Find :

The measure of the other acute angle.

Solution :

Let, other acute angle is x.

We know, by property of triangle :

Sum of sides = 180°

90° + 163/3° + x = 180°

x = 90° - 163/3°

x = 17/3°

Therefore, other acute angle is 17/3°.

Hence, this is the required solution.
