If one of the legs of a right triangle is 4 in and the hypotenuse is 8 in, find the length of the other leg (use a calculator if necessary). Can you guess the measures of the acute angles?

Didn't you understand the answer I posted for you yesterday?

But what are the angle deggrees (not including the 90 degrees)?
The question asks YOU to guess.
In the little geometric tool boxes they used to sell, there were always two right-angled triangles, usually made of plastic.
One had the 45°-45°-90° configuration, the other had the 30-60-90° angles.

I noticed that in the latter, the hypotenuse was exactly twice the length of one of the other sides.

Look at your given dimensions and take a guess.
But, it says the answer is wrong.
What answer is wrong?
The answer would be square root 48
And the degrees are 60 and 30
I garuntee this is correct
Sry if I answered 1 year late

Lol
How did Mrs. Mrs get the answer?
