In a right triangle, if one angle is 30 degrees, what is the other non-right angle?

In a right triangle, the sum of the three angles is always 180 degrees. One of these angles is the right angle, which measures 90 degrees.

If one angle of the triangle is 30 degrees, we can determine the measure of the other non-right angle by using the following steps:

1. Start with the total angle sum of a triangle: 180 degrees.
2. Subtract the measure of the right angle: 180 degrees - 90 degrees = 90 degrees. This gives us the sum of the two remaining angles.
3. Since one of these angles is 30 degrees, subtract that from 90 degrees to find the other angle: 90 degrees - 30 degrees = 60 degrees.

Thus, the other non-right angle measures 60 degrees. This angle complements the 30-degree angle to form the 90-degree angle that defines the right triangle.
