Because the total number of degrees in all triangle is equal to 180.
Right triangles consist of one right angle(90) and two equal acute angles(45, 45).

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 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.
What is the sum of the measures of acute angles of a right triangle?
They add up to 90 degrees because there are 180 degrees in a right angle triangle
The measures of two angles of a triangle are 23 and 67 degrees is the triangle a acute right or a obtuse triangle explain your answer using geometric definitions in your explanation.?
i think it would be 90 degrees and it would be a acute angle
Is an equilateral triangle also an acute triangle?
An equilateral triangle has 3 equal interior acute angles of 60 degrees
What is the sum of the measures of the three angles of an acute triangle?
The sume of the measures of the three nagles of an acute triangle (or any triangle) is 180 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.)
Which of the following can represent the measures of the three angles in an acute triangle?
The acute triangle will have 3 different acute angle that add up to 180 degrees
What kind of triangle measures between 0 and 90 degrees?
If each of its 3 angles are 60 degrees then it is an equilateral triangle If each of its 3 angles are different acute angles then it is a scalene triangle
Can a triangle only have two acute angles?
An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees. While a triangle may have 2 acute angles and 1 obtuse, this is not a requirement. A triangle may have three acute angles such and a 60-60-60 equilateral triangle.
The sum of the degree measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is?
Since every type of triangle has a total of 180 degrees of angles, simply deduct the 90 of a right triangle, leaving you with a balance of ___ for the remaining acute angles.
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.
What is the sum of the measures of acute angles of a right triangle?
They add up to 90 degrees because there are 180 degrees in a right angle triangle
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
What could the measure of the acute angles in a right triangle be?
Any 2 angles that add up to 90 degrees because there are 180 degrees in a triangle and a right angle measures 90 degrees
In a right triangle one of the acute angles is 50 more than the other acute angle Find the measures of the angles?
20, 70 and 90 degrees.
How many acute angles are there in acute triangle?
There are three acute angles in an acute triangle and they add up to 180 degrees.
