An exterior angle of a triangle measures 110 degree and it's interior opposite angles are in the ratio 2:3.Find of the angles of the triangle.
Answers
Given the exterior angle of a triangle measure 110 degrees.
Given the interior angles are in the ratio 2x and 3x.
We know that sum of interior angles = 180.
2x + 3x = 180
5x = 180
x = 36.
Then 2x = 72 and 3x = 108.
The angles are 36,72 and 108.
Answer :-
- The interior angles of triangle are 70°, 44° and 66°.
Step-by-step explanation :
To Find :-
- The angles of triangle
Solution :-
Given that,
- A exterior angle of triangle = 110°
- The two interior opposite angles of triangle are in the ratio of 2:3
Assumption: Let us assume the two opposite interior angles as ∠1 and ∠2, and the other unknown interior angle as ∠3
First we need to find out the other interior angle of triangle,
- (other interior angle) ∠3 + exterior angle = 180° .... [ linear pair ]
=> ∠3 + 110 = 180
=> ∠3 = 180 - 110
=> ∠3 = 70
Hence,
- The measure of other interior angle is 70°.
Now, we can find out the measure of each angle of triangle by " angle sum property of triangle ".
- 2x + 3x + 70° = 180°
=> 2x + 3x + 70 = 180
=> 2x + 3x = 180 - 70
=> 2x + 3x = 110
=> 5x = 110
=> x = 110/5
=> x = 22
- The value of x is 22.
Therefore, the angle are,
- The angle which we assumed as 2x [ ∠1 ]
=> 2x
=> 2*22
=> 44°
- The angle which we assumed as 3x [ ∠2 ]
=> 3x
=> 3*22
=> 66°
∴ The interior angles of triangle are 70°, 44° and 66°.
