The measure of the third angle in a right triangle with one interior angle measuring 51.1° is 34.9°.

By definition, all triangles have interior angles that add to 180°. Thusly:

Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180°

Also by definition, a right triangle has one angle that measures 90°. Therefore

90° + Angle B + Angle C = 180°

We know the measure of one of our angles, so...

90° + 55.1° + C = 180°

Combine the two known angles...

145.1° + C = 180°

Subtract 145.1° from both sides to solve for C

145.1° - 145.1° + C = 180° - 145.1°

C = 34.9°

How do you classify a triangle by its angles?

If all three angles of a triangle measure less that 90 degrees (if all three angles are acute), the triangle is an acute triangle. A triangle that has a right angle (an angle the measures exactly 90 degrees) is a right triangle. (The other 2 angles will be acute angles.) A triangle that has an angle that is greater than 90 degrees (an obtuse angle), is an obtuse triangle. (The other 2 angles will be acute angles.)


How can you use ratios of the side lengths to find the angle measures of the acute angles in a right triangle?

By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.


What triangle has one angle that measures 40 degrees one angle that measures 90 degrees and another angle that measures 50 degrees?

A right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is equal to 90 degrees and the remaing two angles are acute(ie., less than 90 degree). so this triangle is a right angle triangle.

What conclusion can you make about the angle in a right triangle?

Since the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°, and a right angle has a measure of 90°, it follows that the other two angles together have a measure of 90°.


What angle Angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles?

Does a right angled triangle is one angle always a right angle?

Yes. A right triangle is a triangle where one angle is a right angle. If two out of three angles are right angles, then it's an isosceles triangle. If all three angles are right angles, then it is an equilateral triangle.
