SOLUTION: The measure of one acute angle of a right triangle is 10 more than three times the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each Angle.

Question 762857: The measure of one acute angle of a right triangle is 10 more than three times the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each Angle.

Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Other acute angle = x
One acute angle = 3x + 10
So, x + (3x + 10) + 90 = 180
4x + 100 = 180
4x = 180 - 100
4x = 80
x = 20 degrees
Other acute angle = 20 degrees
One acute angle = 70 degrees
Right angle = 90 degrees
Total = 180 degrees.
Hope this helps.
