Question

One angle of a triangle measures 36.5 degrees. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

Answer 1

The final answer would depend in the type of triangle we are analyzing, however here are the possible outcomes:

1.) If it was a right triangle, 36.5 would be the smaller angle.

2.) It cannot be an equilateral triangle since all angles would be 60°.

3.) In a isosceles triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller, since the others would be 72°.

4.) In an scalene triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles since in that kind of triangle all angles can be different.

5.) In an acute triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller angle.

6.) In an obtuse triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles, since it can have highly acute angles.

Answer 2

Answer:

for a right triangle it would be 53.5

Step-by-step explanation:

90+36.5+x=180

126.5 + x= 180

subtract 126.5 from both sides

X= 53.5
