Finding the missing acute angle in a right triangle

By Tutor GuyNo Comments

 

In a right triangle, the two acute angles add up to 90°. If you are trying to find one missing angle, it’s usually easier to find the complement of the other acute angle than to subtract the two known angles from 180°.

Example: Find angle A. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solution: Since this is a right triangle, A and B add up to 90. Therefore, 90 – 63 = 27°.
