if the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4. Find the measure of ech angle
Answers
Answer:
Let the angles be = 2x,3x,4x
2x+3x+4x=180° (angle sum property)
So,
2x= 40°
3x= 60°
4x=80°
↔Question: If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4. Find the measure of each angle?
⇔Given: Angles of Triangle in the ratio = 2:3:4
⇔ Let the angles be 2x , 3x , 4x ( where x is any value)
⇔To find: Measure of each angle.
⇒We, know that sum of (interior) angles in a triangle will be equal to 180° which is called angle sum property.
↔ 2x+3x+4x = 180°
↔ 9x = 180°
↔ x = 180÷9
↔ x =20
∴ x =20
⇔Now, let's substitute the values in :
- 2x = 2×20 = 40°
- 3x = 3×20 = 60°
- 4x = 4×20 = 80°
∴The measure of each angle in the triangle are 40°, 60°, 80°.
⇄Verify⇆
The sum of all the angles will be equal to 180°
40°+60°+80° = 180°
180° = 180°
∴ We can conclude that the measure of each angle in the triangle are 40°, 60°, 80°.
