A right triangle always has one angle that measures 90 degrees. Therefore, the sum of the measures of the two other angles in the right triangle must be 90 degrees. Since one angle measures 53 degrees, the measure of the third angle can be found by subtracting 53 from 90:
90 - 53 = 37 degrees
Therefore, the third angle in the triangle measures 37 degrees.
If a right triangle has an angle that is 53°. What
is the third angle in the triangle?
