A right triangle has an angle that is 36 degrees. What is the measure of the third angle in this triangle?

Answer 1

The sum of the three angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.

In a right triangle, one of the angles is 90 degrees.

Let x be the measure of the third angle in the triangle.

We can write the equation x + 36 + 90 = 180.

Combining like terms, we get x + 126 = 180.

Subtracting 126 from both sides of the equation, we get x = 54.

Therefore, the measure of the third angle in the triangle is 54 degrees.
