Question

A right triangle has an angle measuring 38 degrees. Which is the degree measure of another angle of this triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is 142 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

let the other side be x

38+x=180

x=180-38

x=142

the degree measure of another angle is 142

Answer 2

Answer:

x(unknown degree) + 38(given degree) + 90(right triangle's angle) = 180(sum of all angles of a triangle will equal 180)

x + 38 + 90 = 180

128 + x = 180

-128        -128

X = 52 degrees

whenever given a triangle ALL their angles will have a sum of 180 degrees, a quadrilateral will have a sum of 360 degrees. Whenever given a right triangle remember to add the right angle's degree when solving for x and make sure to double check. When given 3 angles of a 4 sided shape (quadrilateral) make sure to add those 3 given degrees and add the missing value (x as your variable) to equal the sum of 360 degrees. also its the same with different given degrees, if you are given 2 angles or 1 angles measure you know that 3 or 2 of the unknown values will be replaced as x.
