complementary


What property of two acute angles of a right triangle have?

They are complementary.


What possible measures for angle a and angle b with triangle abc is a right triangle with the right angle at c?

'a' and 'b' must both be acute, complementary angles.


How do the two acute angles of a right triangle relate to each other?

They sum to 90 degrees so they are complementary.


Are the two acute angles in a right triangle supplementary?

No, they are complementary angles. Supplementary angles sum to 180o Complementary angles sum to 90o. The three angles of a triangle sum to 180o. If one is 90o (the right angle), then the other two sum to 180o - 90o = 90o and so are complementary.


Can a right triangle be classified as an acute triangle?

No. An acute triangle has to have three acute angles. A right triangle has to have one 90 degree angle.


Are the two acute angles of a right triangle complementary?

Yes. Compementary angles total 90 degrees. In a right angled triangle the right angle uses 90 of the 180 degrees in a triangle, leaving 90 degrees for the other two angles.


what- complete blank 1 and blank 2 for the following proof that the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary?

(1) substitution, (2) subtraction


How can you determine if a triangle is acute obtuse or right triangle?

If all of the angles in a triangle are acute then it is an acute triangle. If one angle is right (or 90 degrees) then it is a right triangle. If one angle is obtuse then it is an obtuse triangle.


Does and acute has a right angle and two acute angles?

no an acute triangle does not have a right angle. if it had a right angle, it would be called a right triangle. to be an acute triangle, the triangle needs two angles that are smaller than 90 degrees.


Can an acute triangle be a right triangle?

No.
