Question

Find the measures of the acute angles of an isosceles right triangle.

Answer 1

45 degrees

Explanation:

Since an isosceles triangle has two equal sides, it is given that there are two equal angles. An isosceles right triangle has the same characteristics of an isosceles triangle but has a 90 degree angle.

Since the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, we can subtract the 90 degrees from the right triangle and divide the remainder by 2. This would be 45 degrees.

1.) 180 - 90 = 90

2.)
`(90)/(2)` = 45

Hope this was useful. Cheers.
