if 10°subtracted from in each angle of a triangle their ratio becomes 6:4:5. Find the measure of greatest angle of the triangle.
Answers
(6x-10)+(4x-10)+(5x-10)=180
=6x-10+4x-10+5x-10=180
=15x-30=180
=15x=180-30
=15x=150
X=150/15
X=10
angle are
60°,40°,50°
so greater angle is 60°
The Main Answer is: The greatest angle measures 70°
Given: Ratio of 3 angles of a triangle after subtracting 10° from each is 6:4:5
i.e., x-10 : y-10 : z-10 = 6:4:5; where x, y, and z are angles of the triangle
To Find: Measure of the greatest angle
Solution: Let the angles of the triangle be x, y, z
According to the Angle Sum Property for a triangle-
x + y + z = 180 -----(1)
Now, as given in the question-
x-10 : y-10 : z-10 = 6:4:5
Let the common factor of the ratio be 'k'
∴ x- 10 = 6k -----(2)
y-10 = 4k -----(3)
z-10 = 5k -----(4)
Adding (2), (3) and (4)
x + y + z - 30 = 15k
Put (1) in above equation
180 - 30 = 15k ⇒ 15k = 150 ⇒ k = 10
Put k= 10 in (2), (3) and (4)
x-10 = 60 ⇒ x = 70
y-10 = 40 ⇒ y = 50
z-10 = 50 ⇒ z = 60
Hence the largest angle is x = 70°
Therefore, the largest angle of the given triangle is 70°
