We are asked to find the angles of a right triangle given
that the difference of the acute angles is 24
degrees.
There are 180 degrees in a right
triangle.
A right triangle contains one 90 degree
angle.
Let x = one acute
angle
Let x + 24 = second acute
angle
=> x + x + 24 + 90 =
180
=> 2x + 114 =
180
=> 2x =
66
=> x = 33
degrees
=> x + 24 = 57
degrees
The angles of the right triangle are
90 degrees, 57 degrees, and 33 degrees.
