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°

One acute angle in a right triangle is 40 what is the measure of the other acute angle in the triangle?
50 degrees
What will the measure of the second acute angle be if the first is 28?
If its a right angle triangle then the second acute angle is 62 degrees
What is the measure of each angle in an acute equilateral triangle?
Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees
If a triangle has one acute angle is the triangle acute?
yes, it only needs one acute angle out of the three to make it an acute triangle.
What is a triangle with all acute angle?
An acute triangle.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 cm long and the shorter leg of the triangle is 6 cm long what is the measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle?
The measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle is: 17.46 degrees.
One acute angle in a right triangle is 40 what is the measure of the other acute angle in the triangle?
50 degrees
What is the difference between a right triangle and a acute triangle?
A right triangle has a 90 degree angle and an acute triangle has an angle smaller than 90 degrees.
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 you draw an equilateral acute triangle?
Yes because the measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees which is an acute angle.
One acute angle of a right triangle measures 20 what is the measure of the other acute angle?
70
What will the measure of the second acute angle be if the first is 28?
If its a right angle triangle then the second acute angle is 62 degrees
What type of triangle has angles that are all smaller than a right angle?
An acute triangle.
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).
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.
What would be the measure of the second acute angle of a right triangle if the first acute angle measure is 28?
It will be 62 degrees because 90-28 = 62
What is the measure of each angle in an acute equilateral triangle?
Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees
