In a right triangle, one of the two smaller angles, x, is 6 degrees less than twice the other smaller angle, y, what are the measures of the two smaller angles?

1 is b and 2 is d

step-by-step explanation:

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.
