Question

One angle of a right triangle measures 51 degrees. What is the measure of the other small angle?

Short answer

The other small angle of the right angle triangle$=39°$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

One angle of a right triangle measures$=51degrees$

Step 2. Measuring of the other small angle 

The measure of total the three angles of a triangle is $180$degrees.Let x be the measure of the small angle

The formula for finding the measure of the other small angle of the right angle triangle $ABC$is

$$\begin{gathered} x=180°-(90°+51) \\ x=180°-(141°) \\ x=39° \end{gathered}$$

Therefore,the other small angle of the right angle triangle localid="1647099630765" $ABC=39°$
