Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given image shows a right triangle with two known angles: one is 59° and the other is 90° (a right angle). We are asked to solve for the third angle, .
In any triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always . Therefore, we can use the following equation:
Now, solving for :
Thus, .
