Right Triangle Geometry: Finding the Sum of Non-Right Angles

Question

In a right triangle, the sum of the two non-right angles is...?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 What is the sum of non-right angles in a right triangle?
00:04 Let's mark the angles as A,B
00:12 The sum of angles in a triangle equals 180
00:17 Let's isolate the sum of angles A+B
00:30 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

In a right-angled triangle, there is one angle that equals 90 degrees, and the other two angles sum up to 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore, the sum of the two non-right angles is 90 degrees

90+90=180 90+90=180

Answer

90 degrees
