Question

a right triangle has one angle that measures 29°. what is the measure of the other acute angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Sum of triangle angles

The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$. A right triangle has one $90^\circ$ angle.

Step2: Calculate unknown acute angle

Subtract the known angles from $180^\circ$.
$180^\circ - 90^\circ - 29^\circ = 61^\circ$

Answer:

$61^\circ$
