Jamie needs to find the missing angle of a right triangle with the third angle measuring 62 degrees. What is the measure of the third angle of the triangle?
90+62+x = 180
To find the missing angle of a right triangle, we first need to understand that the sum of all three angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. Since we already know one angle (62 degrees), and we know that the right angle in a right triangle is always 90 degrees, we can find the missing angle by subtracting the sum of the two known angles from 180.
In this case, the sum of the two known angles is 62 degrees + 90 degrees = 152 degrees. Now, we can find the missing angle by subtracting 152 degrees from 180 degrees:
180 degrees - 152 degrees = 28 degrees
Therefore, the missing angle of the right triangle measures 28 degrees.
