The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
So, we have:
(2x + 6) + (3x - 26) + (90) = 180
5x - 20 + 90 = 180
5x + 70 = 180
5x = 110
x = 22
Now we can find the measures of the missing angles:
1. 2x + 6 = 2(22) + 6 = 50 degrees
2. 3x - 26 = 3(22) - 26 = 40 degrees
Therefore, the missing angles are 50 degrees and 40 degrees.
A right try has acute angles measuring 2x + 6 degrees and 3x - 26 degrees use the triangle angle sum theorem to find the measures of the missing angles of the triangle
