In a right triangle the acute angles measure x plus 15 and 2x degrees. What is the measure of the larger acute angle of the triangle?

The 3 interior angles of a right angle triangle add up to 180 degrees and so:-
If: x+15+2x+90 = 180
Then: 3x = 75 and so x = 25
Therefore the largest acute angle is 2x = 50 degrees
Check: 45+55+90 = 180 degrees

In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute angles is 4 to 1 what is the measure in degrees of the larger acute angle?
It is: 72 degrees
Are the angles of an equilateral triangle larger or smaller than 90 degrees?
They are smaller - 60 degrees.
What is the sum of the measures of the angle in any triangle is 180 degrees - in triangle ABC angles A and B have the same measure while angle C is 42 degrees larger than each other two angles?
138
Can a triangle have 3 obtuse angles?
No, a triangle can't have more than 1 obtuse angle because all the angles have to equal 180 degrees, and an obtuse angle is larger than 90 degrees. if it had more than 1 obtuse angle, the angles wouldn't equal 180 degrees and you wouldn't be able to make a third angle.
Which polygon has the larger exterior angle triangle or heptagon?
Interior Angles of a Triangle: 60 Exterior Angles of a Triangle: 120 Interior Angles of a Heptagon 128 (approx) Exterior Angles of A Heptagon 52 (approx) Answer: Triangle

They are smaller - 60 degrees.
One of the acute angles of a right trianlge has twice the measure of the other acute angle.What is the measure of the larger acute angle in the right triangle?
Could be a 90-60-30 degree triangle. so, 60 degrees.
What geometric figure does not have right angles or angles measure larger than a right angle?
An acute triangle.
What is the name given to a triangle larger than90?
It can be an obtuse triangle which includes 2 acute angles and the 3 angles add up to 180 degrees
Two angles are complementary the measure of the larger angle is twice the measure of the smaller angle find the measure of the larger angle?
the larger angle is 60 and the smaller angle is 30.complimentary angles are 2 angles forming 90 degrees.
These do not have any right angles or angles whose measure are larger than a right angle?
A Triangle which do not have a right angle.
Two angles are complementary One angle has a measure that is five times the measure of the other angle What is the measure in degrees of the larger angle?
Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. If the smaller angle is x, the larger is 5x, so 6x = 90. X equals 15, and the larger angle measures 75 degrees.
In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute anglesis 4 to1What is the measure in degrees of the larger acute angle?
The two acute angles total 90 degrees. If the larger angle is 4 times the smaller angle, then the smaller angle is 18 degrees and the larger angle is 72 degrees (4 x 18 degrees).
In the right triangle the ration of the measures of the two acute angles is 4 to 1 what is the measure in degrees of the larger acute angle?
Since they add up to 90, the smaller angle is 90(1/5) =18 degrees, and the larger angle is 90(4/5)=72 degrees.
Is it always true that a triangle has three acute angles?
No, but there is one rule that you can always follow for triangles, and that is all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees --- So an angle can be larger than 90 degrees as long as all three angles add up to 180 degrees..
In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute angles is 4 to 1 what is the measures in degrees of the larger acute angle?
the two acute angles have a sum of 90. If the ratio is 4:1, then there are five units to split. Divide the 90 degrees by 5.90/5 = 1818 * 4 = 72So the larger angle has a measure of 72 degrees and the smaller angle is 18 degrees.
