Question

A right angle is divided into two angles in the ratio 3: 7. The measures of the angles will be ________________ and __________________.

Answer 1

Answer:

27° and 63°.

Explanation: let the angles dividing the right angle be 3x and 7x

The sum of these angles be 90° as it is a right angle.

Then

3x+7x=90°

10x =90°

x =9

putting the value of x we get

3x= 27 and 7x = 63

Hence the two angles dividing the right angles in the ratio 3:7 are 27° and 63°.
