For a right triangle, one angle is 20 degrees. What are the other two angles?

Explanation

A right triangle has one angle measuring 90 degrees. The sum of all angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. Hence,
The sum of all angles = angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3
80 degrees = 90 degrees + 20 degrees + angle 3
180 – 90 – 20 = angle 3
Angle 3 = 70 degrees
Therefore, aside from the 20-degree angle, the triangle will have angles of:
90 degrees and 70 degrees
