What is the measure of angle J in the triangle below?
Adjacent: 10
Hypotenuse: 17
90 degree angle: 102°
To find the measure of angle J, we can use the fact that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
We know that one of the angles is a right angle (90 degrees), so the sum of the other two angles must be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.
Let's call angle J "x" (in degrees). Then, we can set up an equation:
x + 102 = 90
Solving for x:
x = 90 - 102 = -12
However, since an angle in a triangle cannot be negative, there must be an error in the problem or the measurements given. Double-check your calculations and measurements to ensure they are correct.
