π radians = 180°

\(\frac { \pi }{ 9 }\) radian = \(\frac { 180 }{ \pi } \times \frac { \pi }{ 9 }\) = 20°

Let the two acute angles of the right-angled triangle be x and y (x > y).

Then x + y = 90° …(i)

and x – y = 20° …(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get

2x = 110°

⇒ x = 55°

55° + y = 90° 

⇒ y = 35°

Hence, two angles are 55° and 35° respectively.
