Math Problem Statement

Calcule a medida do ângulo marcado em um triângulo retângulo com ângulos conhecidos de 37° e 90°.

Solution

This problem involves finding the unknown angle in a right triangle. Here’s how we solve it:

Step 1: Understand the triangle properties

  • In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180180^\circ.
  • This triangle is a right triangle, so one of the angles is 9090^\circ.

Step 2: Write the equation for the angles

Let the unknown angle be xx. The given angles are 3737^\circ and 9090^\circ.

The sum of the angles in the triangle is: x+37+90=180x + 37^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ

Step 3: Solve for xx

Simplify the equation: x+127=180x + 127^\circ = 180^\circ

Subtract 127127^\circ from both sides: x=180127x = 180^\circ - 127^\circ

x=53x = 53^\circ

Final Answer:

The unknown angle is 5353^\circ.

  1. What is the rule for calculating the sum of angles in any polygon?
  2. How can you identify the type of triangle based on its angles?
  3. What are complementary angles in a triangle?
  4. How would you calculate an angle if only two sides of the triangle were given?
  5. What is the relationship between angles and sides in a right triangle (trigonometry)?

Tip: Always verify if one angle is a right angle in a triangle—it simplifies calculations significantly.
