I have a homework problem of a right angled triangle with a small box in the corner of one corner of the base. The number inside the triangle is 32.
I can not decide if the answer is 116 or 58. Those are my two options.
-----------------
The "little box" indicates the angle at that point is the 90 degree
angle or the right angle.
The 32 is probably near one of the other angles.
The 3rd angle must make the sum of the angles 180 degrees.
The measure of the 3rd angle is 180-90-32=58
