Solution

Given:
Difference between two acute angles of a right-angled triangle = 2Ï€5 rad
∵1rad=180π°

∴2π5rad=180π×2π5°=36×2°=72°

Now, let one acute angle of the triangle be x°.
Therefore, the other acute angle will be 90°-x°.
Now,
x°-90°-x°=72°⇒x-90+x=72⇒2x=162⇒x=81
Thus, we have:
x° = 81°
And,
90°-x° = 90°-81° = 9°
