One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches. The remaining leg measures 6.3 inches. What is the measure of the angle
2 answers:
Answer:
The measure of the angle opposite the leg that is 6 inches long is
45 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches and the other two sides are equal to 6.3 inches
So the triangle is Right isosceles triangle.
A right triangle with the two legs (and their corresponding angles) equal. An isosceles right triangle therefore has angles of 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees.
That is
The sum of all the angles in the triangle is 180 degrees
Since it is a right isosceles triangle one angle will be 90 degrees and the sum of other two angles will be 90 degrees and equal
90 Degree = 45 + 45
