The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 15 less than twice the measure of the other small angle. Find the measure of both angles.

We have the measure of both angles as  55 degrees and 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are three angles in a right-angled triangle. One of which is 90. FOr now, the other two are unknown, so we would designate them to be x and y.

We now set up an equation using the information we are given about the problem.

From this statement "The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 15 less than twice the measure of the other small angle." we can set up the following equation:

x =2y -15 equation 1

similarly, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees. Hence, we can use this to set up another equation as follows:

x + y + 90 = 180

x+ y = 90 equation 2

we can now solve the two equations simultaneously as

x -2y =-15

x+ y = 90

from this, we have that

x = 55 and y = 35

We have the measure of both angles as  55 degrees and 35 degrees

the answer is 37

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
