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