Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
One angle of a right triangle has measure . Give the measures of the other two angles.
This triangle cannot exist.
This triangle cannot exist.
A right triangle must have one right angle and two acute angles; this means that no angle of a right triangle can be obtuse. But since , it is obtuse. This makes it impossible for a right triangle to have a
angle.
Example Question #1411 : Concepts
One angle of a right triangle has measure . Give the measures of the other two angles.
This triangle cannot exist.
One of the angles of a right triangle is by definition a right, or , angle, so this is the measure of one of the missing angles. Since the measures of the angles of a triangle total
, if we let the measure of the third angle be
, then:
The other two angles measure .
Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
Find the degree measure of in the right triangle below.
The total number of degrees in a triangle is .
While is provided as the measure of one of the angles in the diagram, you are also told that the triangle is a right triangle, meaning that it must contain a
angle as well. To find the value of
, subtract the other two degree measures from
.
Example Question #4 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
Find the angle value of .
All the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees.
Example Question #5 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
Find the angle value of .
All the angles in a triangle adds up to .
Example Question #6 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
Find the angle value of .
All the angles in a triangle add up to degrees.
Example Question #7 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle
Find the angle measure of .
All the angles in a triangle add up to .
