Question

HELP 10 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST The triangles below are similar. In each traingle there is a 53°angle and a right angle. What is the measure of the third angle in each triangle?
37º
47º
53º
127º

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, we know this because they have 2 angles in common, they both have the same third angle.

To find the third angle, we use the angle sum. The sum of angles in a triangle will always equal 180 degrees. We are given a right angle which is 90 degrees and another angle, which is 53 degrees. Knowing this:

90 + 53 + x = 180 (I have chosen to call the third angle x)

when rearranging this we get

180 - 90 - 53 = x

now we solve

x = 37 degrees

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

Answer:

37°

Step-by-step explanation:

Their size is irrelevant.

Since we know that the two other angles are 53° and 90°, we know that the last angle is 37° (180-53-90).
