Question

Find the measure of each acute angle.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The measure of the interior angle of a triangle is 180 degrees

therefore 3x + 2x + 90 = 180

5x + 90 = 180

5x = 90

x = 18

3x = 3(18) = 54 degrees

2x = 2(18) = 36 degrees

To check:

54 + 36 + 90 = 180

Answer 2

2x is equal to 36 while 3x equals 54.
