Question

A right triangle 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.(4 points)

Answer 1

In a right triangle, the sum of all angles is 180 degrees. We know one angle is 90 degrees, so the other two angles, 2x + 6 and 3x - 26, must add up to 90 degrees. When we combine them, we get 5x - 20 = 90, which means x is 22, making the angles 50 degrees and 56 degrees.
