Answer:

The measure of the smallest angle is 17º

Explanation:

The 3 angles of a right triangle add up to 180. If we call A the bigger angle, and B the smallest:

[tex]180º=90º+A+B[/tex]

Which means:

[tex]A+B=90º[/tex]

We also know that the smallest triangle plus 56º is the bigger triangle. This is:

[tex]A=B+56º[/tex]

Now we have the equation system:
