The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of the other acute angle in a right-angled triangle when one of the acute angles measures \(30^\circ\), follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Triangle**: In a right-angled triangle, one angle is always \(90^\circ\). Let's denote the angles of the triangle as follows: - Angle \(A\) (acute angle) = \(30^\circ\) - Angle \(B\) (right angle) = \(90^\circ\) - Angle \(C\) (the other acute angle) = ? 2. **Use the Angle Sum Property**: The sum of all angles in any triangle is \(180^\circ\). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ 30^\circ + 90^\circ + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \] 3. **Combine the Known Angles**: Add the angles we know: \[ 30^\circ + 90^\circ = 120^\circ \] So the equation now looks like: \[ 120^\circ + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \] 4. **Solve for Angle C**: To find Angle C, subtract \(120^\circ\) from both sides of the equation: \[ \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ - 120^\circ \] \[ \text{Angle C} = 60^\circ \] 5. **Conclusion**: The measure of the other acute angle is \(60^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The measure of the other acute angle is \(60^\circ\).
