There is not enough information to find the third angle.

Answer 1

In a right triangle, one angle is always 90°. The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Given that one angle is 36° and the right angle is 90°, you can find the third angle by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 180°.

So the calculation is:

180° - 90° - 36° = 54°

Therefore, the measure of the third angle is 54°.
