Recall that in a right triangle, the sum of the three interior angles is always 180 degrees.
Since one angle is a right angle, it measures 90 degrees.
The sum of the two acute angles must therefore be 180° - 90° = 90°.
Given one acute angle measures 27°, subtract this from 90° to find the other acute angle: \$90° - 27°$.
The result from this subtraction gives the measure of the other acute angle.
