Question

in a right triangle the measure of one acute angle is 8 times the measure of another angle. what is the measure in degrees of the smallest angle in the triangle

Answer 1

a right triangle the measure, so right angle = 90
let x = other acute angle
one acute angle is 8 times the measure of another angle = 8x

x+8x+90=180
9x=90
x = 10

answer:
measure in degrees of the smallest angle in the triangle = 10
