    The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180°

    In a right triangle one of the angles is 90°

    This means the other two angles need to equal 180-90 90 degrees

    You are given one of the angles of 52°, so subtract that from 90 to find the third angle.

    90 - 52 = 38 degrees.

    Answer: 38°
