In a right triangle, all the angle measurements together add up to be 180 degrees. And since it is a right triangle, one of the three angles is 90 degrees so if you are given one of the angles other than the right angle's measurements, you can find the angle measurements.

Here's an example:

There is a right triangle. One angle measures to be 45 degrees. What is the missing angle measure?

Well we know that one angle must be 90 degrees and the other (as we were told) is 45 degrees. 90+45=135 and we know that a right triangle=180 degrees total and 180-135= 45. The missing angle is equal to 45 degrees!

hope this makes sense and it helped.

What is the measuremeant of missing angle that's 90 and 32 degrees?

If that's a right angle triangle then the missing angle is 58 degrees


How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?

180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.


If angle A equals 32 and angle B equals 58 What type of triangle is it?

all the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180. to find the missing angle : 180 - 32 - 58 = 90 90 is a right angle and since there is a right angle in the triangle, it is a right angled triange


If one acute angle on a right triangle is forty five degrees what is the measure of the other acute angle in the triangle?

since it is a right triangle there is one 90 degree angle and another of the angles is 45 degrees. there is 180 degrees in a triangle so the missing angle is 45 degrees.

How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?

Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
