    Measure of the smallest angle = 35 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    As it is a right triangle the values of the 2 smaller angles will add up to 90 degrees.

    So the 2 angles can be written as x and 90-x and we have:

    (90 - x) - x = 20

    -2x = 20 - 90 = - 70

    x = 35.

    So the 2 angles are 35 and 55 degrees.

    Answer:The measure of the smallest angle is 35 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a + b = 90

    a-b = 20

    2a = 110

    a = 55

    90 - 55 = 35
