Question

In a right triangle, one of the acute angles is twice the size of the other. What is the measurement of the smallest angle?


SOLUTION:

Answer 1

Answer:

$one \: angle = 45 \\ \\ other \: angle = 45$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\alpha + \alpha + 90 = 180 \\ \\ 2 \alpha = 180 - 90 \\ \\ 2 \alpha = 90 \\ \\ \alpha = \frac{90}{2} \\ \\ \alpha = 45 \\ \\ one \: angle = 45 \\ \\ other \: angle = 45$
