Question

The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 45 less than twice the measure of the other small angle. Find the measure of both angles. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has one right angle and two acute angles.

A and B are the acute angles.

A+B =  90°

One acute angle is 45 less than twice the other acute angle.

A = 2B-45°

(2B-45°) + B = 90°

3B = 135°

B = 45°

A = 45°
