Answer:
Since 4 is the largest number its the hypotenuse. The two 3s are equal so they are interchangeable so it doesn't matter where you put them. If its a right triangle the hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle.
To find:
The measures of the 2 acute angles of the triangle.
Solution:
Let x be the measure of one acute angle. Then the measure of another acute is (2x+12).
According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So,




Divide both sides by 3.


The measure of one acute angle is 26 degrees. So, the measure of another acute angle is:



Therefore, the measures of two acute angles are 26° and 64° respectively.
Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:
[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04
Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,
x^2 + (2/5)x = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or
(x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25
60 degrees, because it's an equilateral triangle, as you can tell because the sides are all the same length.
