<PRE><B>Question 832181</B>
note: right triangle measures 90 deg.
          Acute  angle measures less than 90 deg.

hypotenuse divided in ratio 3:5.
This means 3 parts : 5 parts
 Add the parts 3 +5 = 8 parts. 
So, a hypotenuse has 8 parts. lets find the measure in one part.

Right tri. 90° / 8parts = 11.25° is 1 part .

Solve:
3 : 5
3 * 11.25  :   5 * 11.25
33.75°  :    56.25°    final answer

Those measurements are acute angles bec. They are less than 90°.


Check: add the acute angles together
33.75° + 56.25° = 90°
