Question 732520: In a right triangle, the measures of the two smaller angles are (3x+6) and (2x-1) . What is the measure of the smallest angle in the triangle? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. Since one of the angles of a right triangle measures 90 degrees, the sum of the other two angles must be 180 minus 90 = 90 degrees. Therefore:
Solve for , then calculate which is clearly smaller than
