"The ratio of the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is 3:7.
Find the measures of the acute angles."
;
Let x = "the multiplier
then
3x = 1 angle
and
7x = the other angle
:
7x + 3x + 90 = 180
10x = 180 - 90
10x = 90
x = 90/10
x = 9 is the multiplier
therefore
3*9 = 27 is one angle
and
7*9 = 63 is the other angle
