Question

A right triangle has one angle that measures 19°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?

Answer 1

Since a right triangle always has one angle that measures 90°, and the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180°, we can find the measure of the other acute angle by subtracting 19° from 90° and getting:

90° - 19° = 71°

Therefore, the measure of the other acute angle in the right triangle is 71°.
