Answer to Yesterday’s Mathematics Knowledge Question

Yesterday’s question was a Mathematics Knowledge question that could appear on the ASVAB. In working as an ASVAB tutor who teaches an ASVAB prep course, I remind my students of the importance of being strong in geometry.  To provide ASVAB math help in geometry, I remind my students that it is essential to know the necessary formulas.  In working with triangles, it is important to know that the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.  A right triangle has one right angle.  A right angle is 90 degrees.  Yesterday’s question asked which of the following could be the angle measures in a right triangle.  The correct answer is 30, 60, 90 since one of these three angles is a right angle and the sum of the three angles is 180 degrees.
