To find the measure of the third angle in a triangle, you need to know that the sum of all three angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
In a right triangle, one of the angles is always 90 degrees, so the sum of the other two angles must be 90 degrees as well.
Since one of the angles is known to be 36 degrees, the measure of the third angle can be found by subtracting 36 from 90:
90 - 36 = 54 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the third angle in this right triangle is 54 degrees.
