In a right triangle, all the angle measurements together add up to be 180 degrees. And since it is a right triangle, one of the three angles is 90 degrees so if you are given one of the angles other than the right angle's measurements, you can find the angle measurements.
Here's an example:
There is a right triangle. One angle measures to be 45 degrees. What is the missing angle measure?
Well we know that one angle must be 90 degrees and the other (as we were told) is 45 degrees. 90+45=135 and we know that a right triangle=180 degrees total and 180-135= 45. The missing angle is equal to 45 degrees!
hope this makes sense and it helped.

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.
A right angle triangle
Yes. That is why it is called a right angle triangle!Yes. That is why it is called a right angle triangle!Yes. That is why it is called a right angle triangle!Yes. That is why it is called a right angle triangle!
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
If it's a right angle triangle then the the third angle is 60 degrees.
