Answer:

<A = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.  We know a right angle is 90 degrees.

<A + <B + <C = 180

3x-8 + 90 + x-2 =180

Combine like terms

4x-10+90 = 180

4x+80 =180

Subtract 80 from each side

4x+80-80=180-80

4x=100

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 100/4

x=25

But we want to know <A

<A = 3x-8

 Substitute x=25

    =3(25) -8

    =75-8

   = 67

Answer:

67°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the acute angles are complementary. That means that the sum of their measures is 90 deg.

m<A + m<C = 90

3x - 8 + x - 2 = 90

4x - 10 = 90

4x = 100

x = 25

m<A = 3x - 8

m<A = 3(25) - 8

m<A = 75 - 8

m<A = 67
