Question 368327: The measure of the larger of the acute angles in a right triangle is 3 degrees less than 5 times the measure of the smaller. Find the measure of the smaller angle. Answer by amoresroy(361) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the measure of the smaller angle
5x-3 = the measure of the larger angle
x + (5x-3) = 90
6x = 93
