Question

What is the measure of each exterior angle of the right triangle?

Answer 1

I think x=90°, and z=136°

Answer 2

X=90 degrees
Y=134 degrees
Z=136 degrees

Angle X and the right angle of the triangle are supplementary angles. Meaning when added together, they equal to 180 degrees.

So 180-90=90

To find y, first you have to find the missing measure of the right triangle. And to do that, you use the triangle angle sum theorem.

44+90+x=180

134+x=180

Subtract 134 from both sides

X=46.

The angle with the measure 46 is supplementary to angle y

180-46=134

Angle Z is supplementary angles with the angle with the measure of 44.

So 180-44=136
