Question
- a triangle is a right isosceles triangle. find the measure of each of its acute angles.
Step1: Recall triangle angle sum property
The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\). In a right - isosceles triangle, one angle is \(90^{\circ}\). Let the measure of each acute angle be \(x\).
Step2: Set up the equation
Using the angle - sum property: \(90 + x+x=180\).
Simplify the equation: \(90 + 2x=180\).
Subtract \(90\) from both sides: \(2x=180 - 90\), so \(2x = 90\).
Divide both sides by \(2\): \(x=\frac{90}{2}=45\).
