You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the sum of these 2 angles is 58 + 32 = 90 degrees.
this means the third angle is equal to 90 degrees because the sum of all 3 angles in a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
this makes this a right triangle because it has one angle that is 90 degrees.
