Choose the degree measures of both acute angles. Legs 5 cm and 8 cm

Question

.

Answer 1

If this is a right triangle then the hypotenuse

= square root of (8^2 +5^2) = sqr(64+25)

= sqr(89) = about 9.3

but you don't need that information

one acute angle = tan^-1(8/5) = about 58 degrees

then the other acute angle =90-58 = about 32 degrees

use a calculator with an inverse tangent function
