The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of the other acute angle in a right-angled triangle where one acute angle measures \(53^\circ\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the properties of a right-angled triangle**: In a right-angled triangle, one angle is always \(90^\circ\) (the right angle), and the sum of all angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\). 2. **Set up the equation for the angles**: Let the angles of the triangle be \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\). We know: - \(A = 53^\circ\) (one acute angle) - \(B = 90^\circ\) (the right angle) - \(C\) is the other acute angle we need to find. The sum of angles in a triangle is given by: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] 3. **Substitute known values into the equation**: Substitute \(A\) and \(B\) into the equation: \[ 53^\circ + 90^\circ + C = 180^\circ \] 4. **Simplify the equation**: Combine \(53^\circ\) and \(90^\circ\): \[ 143^\circ + C = 180^\circ \] 5. **Isolate \(C\)**: To find \(C\), subtract \(143^\circ\) from both sides: \[ C = 180^\circ - 143^\circ \] \[ C = 37^\circ \] 6. **Conclusion**: The measure of the other acute angle \(C\) is \(37^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The measure of the other angle of the triangle is \(37^\circ\).
