Question 529128: THE MEASURE OF ONE ACUTE ANGLE IN A RIGHT ANGLE IS 1 1/4 TIMES THE MEASURE OF THE OTHER ACUTE ANGLE. WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF THE LARGER ACUTE ANGLE? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I suppose the problem was meant to say "the measure of one acute angle in a right triangle is 1 1/4 times the measure of the other acute angle."
That would make it clear that both acute angles add up to 90 degrees.
I the smaller one measures degrees, the larger one will measure degrees and both together add up to degrees
If that is 90 degrees and
So the larger angle would measure degrees.
