Question

What is the third angle of a right triangle if one of the angles measures 51.

Answer 1

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is 39.

Every triangle has 180 degrees. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Since a triangle has 3 angles, all three together must add up to 180o

A right angle = 90 degrees always.

You are given 51 degrees as your second angle

The third one is x

x + 51 + 90 = 180                   Total of three angles must be 180

x + 141 = 180                           The left has been added to give 141

x = 180 - 141                            Subtract 141 from both sides

x = 39                                     The third angle = 39
