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.
Let the measure of the given acute angle be \(62^\circ\) and the other acute angle be \(x\) degrees.
Set up the equation for the sum of angles: \(90^\circ + 62^\circ + x = 180^\circ\).
Solve for \(x\) by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees: \(x = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 62^\circ\).
