  What is the measure of the other acute angle? Give your answer without units.

In a right triangle, the sum of the angles is always \( 180^\circ \). Since one of the angles is \( 90^\circ \) (the right angle), the sum of the two acute angles must be \( 90^\circ \).

Given that one acute angle measures \( 32^\circ \), we can find the other acute angle by subtracting this angle from \( 90^\circ \):

\[
90^\circ - 32^\circ = 58^\circ
\]

Therefore, the measure of the other acute angle is:

**58**
