A right triangle has one angle that measures 44°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?

1 answer

Let's call the other acute angle "x".

We know that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so we can set up an equation:

44° + x + 90° = 180°

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x + 134° = 180°

Subtracting 134° from both sides, we get:

x = 46°

Therefore, the measure of the other acute angle is 46°.
