What are the missing angle measures in triangle ABC?
Finger [1]

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

∠A+∠B=90 ------> by complementary angles

so

Step 1

Find the measure of angle B

we know that

tan\  B=\frac{opposite\  side\  angle\  B}{adjacent\  side\  angle\  B}

in this problem

opposite\  side\  angle\  B=7in\\ adjacent\  side\  angle\  B=5in

so

tan\  B=\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=arc\ tan\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=54.5\ degrees

Step 2

Find the measure of angle A

A+B=90\\ A=90-B\\ A=90-54.5\\ A=35.5\ degrees

therefore

the answer is the option

35.5° and 54.5°
