In a right triangle, the sum of the acute angles (2x + 6) and (3x - 26) must equal 90 degrees because the right angle measures 90 degrees, leading to the equation \( (2x + 6) + (3x - 26) = 90 \), which simplifies to \( 5x - 20 = 90 \), allowing us to find \( x = 22 \); thus, the acute angles measure 50 degrees and 56 degrees, respectively.
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) In a sentance
