Question

In a right triangle, the acute angles measure x + 15 and 2x degrees. What is the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?



15
25
40
50

Answer 1

All 3 angles sum to 180

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

solve for x and plug it back to

x+15
and
2x

see which one has the smallest angle

Answer 4

Alternatively, the 2 angles add up to 90

Answer 5

x + 15 + 2x=90
