You can put this solution on YOUR website! Easy answer for another angle: 90 degrees (by definition a of right triangle)
The question (as given here) does not specify which other angle.
Sum of all angles=180 degrees
Let x=unknown angle
62 degrees + 90 degrees + x = 180 degrees
152 degrees + x = 180 degrees Subtract 152 from each side.
x = 28 degrees
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) The angles of every triangle add up to 180 degrees
2) Every right angle triangle has a 90 degree angle, a right angle. The right angle in the triangle rarely, if ever, shows the degrees. Instead there is a little box in its vertex (in its corner where the two lines meet like an L)
-------------------
In your case:
62 = one angle (given by the problem)
90 = problem says it's a right angle triangle, so it has a 90 deg. angle
---
152
------------
Since the angles in every triangle add up to 180:
180-152 = 28 degrees is your third angle
