A right triangle has one 31∘ angle. Find the other two angles.
-------
Assuming the other two angles are equal,
Let the measure of each of the equal angles be "x":
------
Equation:
x + x + 31 = 180
2x + 31 = 180
2x = 149
x = 74.5 degrees

A right triangle has one 31∘ angle. Find the other two angles.
-----------
right triangle --> one 90 deg angle
The 3rd angle = 90 - 31 = 59 degs
