Question

What is the measure of the third angle in right triangle if one angle measures 28 degrees?

Answer 1

In a right triangle, two of the sides meet at 90 degrees

This means that one of its angles is 90 degrees

we have also been told that another angle is 28 degrees

To get the third angle:

The Sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

let the unknown side be represented by y

y + 28 + 90 = 180

y + 118 = 180

y = 180 - 118

y = 62

The third side is 62 degrees
