In a right triangle, he measure of one acute angle is 3 times the sum of the other acute angle and 8, find the measure of angle 1 and 2

The measure of angles 1 and 2 are 16.5 and 73.5 respectively.

The sum of the two acute angles is complementary.

Let the complementary acute angles be x and y

Since they form a right angle triangle, hence;

x  + y = 90 1

If the measure of one acute angle is 3 times the sum of the other acute angle and 8, this is expressed as x = 3(y + 8)

Substitute the value of x into the equation 1 as shown:

3(y+8) + y = 90

3y + 24 + y = 90

4y + 24 = 90

4y = 90 - 24

4y = 66

y = 66/4

y = 16.5

Get the other acute angle:

x = 90 - y

x = 90 - 16.5

x = 73.5 degrees

Hence the measure of angles 1 and 2 are 16.5 and 73.5 respectively.
