Problema Solution
In a right triangle, one acute angle is 54° more than twice the other. Find each acute angle.
Answer provided by our tutors
In a right triangle, one angle is 90 degrees
=> Sum of other two = 180-90=90
Let them be x and y
SO x+y=90
Given: x= 2y+54
=> 2y+54+y=90
=> 3y+54=90
=3y= 36
=> y=12 degrees
=>x=78 degrees
