Question 156030
The measure of the smallest angle of a right triangle is 15 degrees less than half the measure of the next smallest angle. What is the measure of each angle? 
------------------

Let the 2nd smallest angle = "x":
Then smallest angle = "(x/2)-15":
And largest angle = 90
---------------------
EQUATION:
angle + angle + angle = 180
x + (x/2)-15 + 90 = 180
(3/2)x  = 105
x = 35*2 = 70 degrees (2nd largest)
(70/2)-15 = 20 degrees (smallest)
