What is the measure of the smaller acute angle in a right triangle if one of the angle is 4 times the other?

Since the angles of a triangle add up to 180°, if one of the angles is a right angle (definition of a right triangle) then the sum of the other two will be 90°. If we designate the measure of the smaller acute angle as "x" then the other angle will be "4x" and: x + 4x = 90° so 5x= 90° and x = 18°


Is a triangle a Acute Angle Obtuse Angle Right Angle?

A triangle is not an angle. A triangle is made of three angles. -- All three of them can be acute, but they don't need to be. -- One of them can be obtuse but doesn't need to be. -- One of them can be a right angle but doesn't need to be. -- If any angle in the triangle is right or obtuse, then the other two need to be acute.


'True or false Two right triangles are similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle'?

Sounds true to me, all three angles are congruent...


What is the measure of the other acute angle in a right triangle when one of the acute angles measures 50 degrees?

all the angles add up to 180 so 50+90+x=180 x=40


In a right triangle one acute angle is of measure 40degree find the other acute angle please draw and show me?

Since a right triangle has 180 degree angles in it, you know 2 angles already. One is the 90 degree angle, since the triangle is a right one. The other is 40 degrees, as in your statement. 90 plus 40 is 130. 50 degrees is the missing angle since 50 + 40+ 90 equal 180 degrees. Hopefully that helped you.

One acute angle of a triangle measures 20 what is the measure of the other acute angle?

That depends on the sizes of the other 2 angles if it's a right angle triangle then the other acute angle would be 70 degrees.


One acute angle of a right triangle measures 20 what is the measure of the other acute angle?

70


What is the other measure acute angle of the right triangle?

I think it is 90 degrees


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.)


What is the measure of a right angle triangle?

It is 90 degrees and the other 2 angles are acute


If one angle in a triangle is acute can the other two angle also be acute?

Yes. In this case a triangle is called an acute triangle.


What is the measure of the third angle of a right triangle if one of the angles measures 50 degrees?

The other acute angle in that triangle is 40 degrees.


One acute angle of a right triangle measures 55 degrees What is the measure of the other acute angle?

180 degrees in a triangle 180 - 90 - 55 = 35 35 degrees


Are two right triangle similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle?

Yes


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.


What does a right acute triangle look like?

Such a triangle would presumably have one right angle, and two acute angles. A right angle has a measure of 90 degrees; an acute angle has a measure of less than 90 degrees. Since both of the other two angles in a right triangle must be acute angles, you'd think at first that every right triangle must be a right acute triangle. But when you go and look up the definition of an "acute triangle", it turns out to be a triangle in which all three angles are acute. So the fact is that there's no such thing as a right acute triangle, because the 90-degree angle in a right triangle is not acute.


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.
