Find the acute angles of a right angled triangle such that larger acute angle is 4 times the smaller acute angle
plz detailed answer
Answers
Answer:
18 - Smaller angle, 72 - Bigger angle
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take smaller angle as x.
The bigger angle will be 4x according to the first statement.
Now, x + 4x + 90 = 180 degree (By The Angle Sum Property of a Triangle)
x + 4x = 180 - 90 degree
5x = 90 degree
x = 90/5 degree
Therefore, x = 18 degree
x is the smaller angle = 18 degree
Now we know that the Larger angle = 4x = 4 x 18 = 72 degree
To check whether our answer is correct,
x + 4x + 90 = 180
18 + 72 + 90 = 180
Thus, the two acute angles of a right angled triangle such that larger acute angle is 4 times the smaller acute angle are 18 and 72 degree.
Hope its clear. Please mark me the brainliest. Thank you.
Answer:
Let us take x to be the numerator and y to be the denominator.
Alright, so y=x+4
Therefore,
x/x+4 is the fraction
so x+11/x+4-1 = 7/3
Now Cross Multiply
3(x+11)= 7(x+3)
3x+33= 7x+21
4x=12
x=3
x+4=y= 7
So the original fraction was 3/7 which then became 14/6
