In a triangle, if one angle is 90 degrees and the other two angles are equal, what is the measure of each of the equal angles?

In a triangle, if one angle is 90 degrees and the other two angles are equal, what is the measure of each of the equal angles?

Step 1: Understand that a triangle has three angles.
Step 2: Know that the total sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Step 3: Identify that one angle in the triangle is 90 degrees (this is a right angle).
Step 4: Since one angle is 90 degrees, subtract this from 180 degrees to find the sum of the other two angles: 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.
Step 5: Recognize that the other two angles are equal, so we can call them both 'x'.
Step 6: Set up the equation: x + x = 90 degrees (because the two angles are equal).
Step 7: Simplify the equation: 2x = 90 degrees.
Step 8: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to find the value of x: x = 90 / 2 = 45 degrees.
Step 9: Conclude that each of the equal angles measures 45 degrees.
