A right triangle has an angle of 36 degrees. What is the measure of the third angle in this triangle?
In a right triangle, one of the angles is always 90 degrees. The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. So, if we have a right triangle with an angle of 36 degrees and a right angle of 90 degrees, we can find the measure of the third angle by subtracting the sum of the other two angles from 180 degrees.
The measure of the third angle is 180 degrees - 90 degrees - 36 degrees = <<180-90-36=54>>54 degrees.
