In a right triangle, one of the angles is always 90°. The other two angles must be acute and their measures add up to 90° since the sum of all angles in any triangle is 180°.
Given one angle measures 75°, we can find the other acute angle by subtracting 75° from 90°:
90° – 75° = 15°
So, the measure of the other acute angle is 15°.
In a right triangle, the sum of the two acute angles must be 90°. Since one angle measures 75°, we can find the measure of the other acute angle by subtracting 75° from 90°.
Other acute angle = 90° – 75° = 15°.
So, the measure of the other acute angle is 15°.
