Question

solve by elimation. in a right triangle one angle is 54 degrees more than twice the other. find each acute angle.

Answer 1

Let x and (2x + 54) be the acute angles of the right triangle.
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
3x + 54 = 90
3x = 36
x = 12
2x + 54 = 2* 12 + 54= 78
The acute angles have measure 12 and 78.-->
