Geometry › How to find an angle in a right triangle
A right triangle has equal legs of , and a hypotenuse of
. Find the area.
The equation to find the area of a triangle is:
In this problem, both the base and the height are 6in. By plugging in the numbers, we get
What is the missing angle in this right triangle?
The angles of a triangle all add up to .
This means that .
Using the fact that 90 is half of 180, we can figure out that the missing angle, x, plus 34 adds to the remaining 90, and we can just subtract
.
Find the measurement of .
Recall that the angles inside of a triangle must add up to . The small square in the corner of the triangle indicates that it is a right angle that measures
degrees.
Thus, for the triangle in question,
Find angle C.
C=65
C=72
C=53
C=70
None of these
First, know that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Each triangle has 3 angles. Thus, we have the sum of three angles as shown:
where we have angles A, B, and C. In our right triangle, one angle is 25 degree and we'll call that angle A. The other known angle is 90 degrees and we'll call this angle B. Thus, we have
Simplify and solve for C.
Angle in the triangle shown below (not to scale) is 35 degrees. What is angle

The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. We are given angle and since this is indicated to be a right triangle we know angle
is equal to 90 degrees. Thus we know 2 of the 3 and can determine the third angle.
Angle is equal to 55 degrees.
Find the measurement of .
Recall that the angles inside of a triangle must add up to . The small square in the corner of the triangle indicates that it is a right angle that measures
degrees.
Thus, for the triangle in question,
Determine the missing angle in this right triangle:
The angles of a triangle always add to 180 degrees.
That means that in this case,
since we know that the right angle is 90 degrees.
There are a few ways we can move on from here, but one is to simplify this equation:
now subtract 145
Find the measurement of .
Recall that the angles inside of a triangle must add up to . The small square in the corner of the triangle indicates that it is a right angle that measures
degrees.
Thus, for the triangle in question,
A right triangle has another angle that is 47 degrees. What is the third angle?
The inside of a triangle has three angles that total 180 degrees. If one is 47 and the other is the right angle (90).
Then
.
To find the missing angle subtract the sum above from 180.
is the degree measurement for the third angle.
