If the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle are 3x + 4 degrees and 4x + 2 degrees, what are the measures of all three angles of the right triangle?
Answered by Reiny
Well, you said it was a right-angled triangle, so the largest angle is 90°

the sum of the other two must be 90°
3x+4 + 4x+2 = 90

solve this simple equation for x, then sub in the 2 different expressions
