the measurement of one angle of a right triangle is 61°. what is the measurement of the third angle? enter your answer in the box. $\\square$°
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall triangle angle sum
A triangle's angles sum to (180^\circ). A right triangle has one (90^\circ) angle.
Step2: Subtract known angles from (180^\circ)
Let the unknown angle be (x). Then (90^\circ + 61^\circ + x = 180^\circ). Solve for (x): (x = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 61^\circ = 29^\circ).
Answer:
(29)
