Let's define the following variable:
x = "the measure of the other small angle"
We have then that the measure of the angle is:
3x + 26
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180:
(3x + 26) + (x) + (90) = 180
We clear x:
4x = 180-90-26
x = (180-90-26) / (4)
x = 16 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the other angle is:
3 * (16) + 26 = 74 degrees
Answer:
the measure of both angles are:
16 degrees
74 degrees
