Question 317682: The ratio of the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is 8:1. In degrees, what is the measure of the largest angle of the triangle? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the measure of the two acute angles = 90 deg
ratio of 8:1
total ( 8+1)=9 parts
8/9 is the larger angle
8/9 * 90 = 80
the angles are 10, 80, 90
