In a right triangle, if angle $A$ measures $37°$, what is the measure of the other non-right angle $B$?

• A. $53°$
• B. $37°$
• C. $74°$
• D. $106°$

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always \(180^\circ\).
2. Since the triangle is a right triangle, one of its angles measures \(90^\circ\).
3. Let the measure of angle \(B\) be \(x\). Then, the sum of the angles is \(37^\circ + 90^\circ + x = 180^\circ\).
4. Set up the equation: \$37 + 90 + x = 180$.
5. Solve for \(x\) by subtracting \$37\( and \)90\( from both sides: \)x = 180 - 90 - 37$.
