Asked by Ganett

If one of the legs of a right triangle is 4 in and the hypotenuse is 8 in, find the length of the other leg (use a calculator if necessary). Can you guess the measures of the acute angles?

But what are the angle deggrees (not including the 90 degrees)?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The question asks YOU to guess.

In the little geometric tool boxes they used to sell, there were always two right-angled triangles, usually made of plastic.
One had the 45°-45°-90° configuration, the other had the 30-60-90° angles.

I noticed that in the latter, the hypotenuse was exactly twice the length of one of the other sides.

Look at your given dimensions and take a guess.
