Question

The expressions given represent the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle Find the measure of each acute angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

30, 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangles angles should be 180.

Subtract 90 because it's a right triangle.

180 - 90 = 90

Now we know the sum of the other angles should be 90.

x + 2x = 90

Solve for x.

3x = 90

x = 30

Now you substitute 30 for x.

(30), 2(30)

30, 60
