I suppose the problem was meant to say "the measure of one acute angle in a right triangle is 1 1/4 times the measure of the other acute angle."
That would make it clear that both acute angles add up to 90 degrees.
I the smaller one measures degrees, the larger one will measure
degrees and both together add up to
degrees
If that is 90 degrees
and
So the larger angle would measure
degrees.
