Question

The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 45 more than 4 times the measure of the other small angle. Find the measure of both angles.

Answer 1

Explanation

You start by knowing that a triangle has 180 degrees in total and this is a right triangle so your total needs to add up to 90. Using the formula 90 subtract 45 then divided by 4+1 and there is your smaller angle.
