Question

In a right angle triangle if one of the acute angles is 4 times the other, then the measure of larger angle is

Answer 1

ANSWER :

Let the smaller acute angle be 'x' and the larger acute angle be '4x'

We know that in an right angel triangle, the sum of the acute angles is 90°

=> 4x + x = 90°

=> 5x = 90°

=> x = 18°

Larger angle = 4x = 4*18 = 72°

Smaller angle = x = 18°

Therefore, the larger angle measures 72° and the smaller measures 18°
