Question

One angle of a right triangle measures $36.5$degrees. What is the measure of the other small angle?

Short answer

The measure of the other small angle of the right angle triangle is$53.5°$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

One angle of a right triangle measures=$36.5degrees$

Step 2. Measuring  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

$$\begin{gathered} x=180°-(90°+36.5°) \\ x=180°-(126.5°) \\ x=53.5° \end{gathered}$$

The measure of the other small angle of the right angle triangle is$53.5°$
