Question

A ramp is designed with the profile of a right triangle. the measure of one acute angle is 2 times the measure of the other acute angle. find the measure of each acute angle.

Answer 1

That's of course the 30/60/90 right triangle.

If you need to see the algebra, the acute angles in a right triangle are complementary, adding to 90 degrees:

x + 2x = 90

3x = 90

x = 30
