Find the measure of acute angle of a right angle triangle when one angle is 60°

30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the acute angle be x.

Then as the 2 acute angles in a right triangle sum to 90 degrees,

x = 90 - 60

= 30.

We used the information we know to give us this equation.

90°+60°+x=180°

We add 90° and 60° to give 150°

150°+x=180°

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
