Question 424620: This is a geometric question. The question is: in a right angle triangle, one acute angle is twice as big as the other acute angle. Find the size of each angle. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
Almost more like an algebra problem. We can call the larger acute angle 2x and the smaller x. The sum of those two angles, plus the 90 degree angle, is 180, so
2x + x + 90 = 180
3x = 90
x = 30, so the angles are 30 and 60.
