180°

154°

64°

90°

Answer 1

One angle measures \(90^{\circ}\) in a right triangle

Answer 2

Okay, so take 90 and add 26?

Answer 3

You're given that one of the acute angles is \(26^{\circ}\)

Answer 4

Yes ! use the triangle sum property :

sum of three angles in a triangle equals 180

Answer 5

Take 180 and sub 116?

Answer 6

say the third angle is \(x\) :

x + 90 + 26= 180

solve x
