A given angle measures 90°.. Then, note that the total measurement of the triangle is 180°... Subtract 180° by 90°, and the other angles must add up to 90°!
Good luck!
Step-by-step explanation:
..........
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so
α + β = 90
(5x/3 +20) + (2x/3) + 14) = 90 . . . . . . substitute given values
7x/3 +34 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
7x/3 = 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 34
x = (3/7)*56 = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/7
Then the value of α is ...
α = 5*24/3 +20 = 60
