Question 564592: if the measure of the acute angles of a right triangle are 2x degrees and 4x degrees, find the measure of the large acute angle Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We know the third angle in 90 degrees, so the two mentioned have to sum to 90. Thus 2x+4x=90. This implies x=15. The "large" acute angle must measure 60 degrees.
