The difference between the two acute angles of a right-angled triangle is 2π/5 radians. Express the angles in degrees.



Answer -

Given the difference between the two acuteangles of a right-angled triangle is 2π/5 radians.

We know that π rad =180°  1rad = 180°/ π

Given:

2π/5

(2π/5 × 180/ π) o

Substituting thevalue of π = 22/7

(2×22/(7×5) × 180/22× 7)

(2/5 × 180) °

72°

Let one acute anglebe x° and the other acute angle be 90° – x°.

Then,

x° – (90° – x°) =72°

2x° – 90° = 72°

2x° = 72° + 90°

2x° = 162°

x° = 162°/ 2

x° = 81° and

90° – x° = 90° – 81°

= 9°

The angles are 81o and 9o
