Question

3. What is the number of degrees in an acute angle of an isosceles right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of degrees in an acute angle of an isosceles right triangle is 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles right triangle has two congruent base angles, and one 90 degree angle. Since a triangle's degrees will always equal 180, we would make an equation like so:

180 (total degrees) = 90 (right angle) + 2x (base angles)

90 = 2x

45= x
