Question 246534: The two acute angles of a right triangle are in the ratio of 4:11. How many degrees are in the smallest angle of this triangle? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4:11 means 15 items
there are 90degrees in the two acute angles
15x=90
x=90/15
x=18/3
x=6
4*6=24
11*66=66
24+66=90
24 degrees is the smaller angle
