in a right angle triangle the ratio of other two angle is 3:2 find the smallest angle?please help, with explanation
Answers
Answer:
In a right angle triangle one angle is of 90 degree.
other two angle is 3:2 i.e, 3x and 2x.
We know that the sum of the angels of a triangle is 180 degree.
so,
According to question,
90 + 2x +3x=180
5x =180-90
5x=90
x= 90/5=18
Now, other two angels=
3x = 3×18 =54 degree
2x = 2×18 36 degree
so, smallest angle = 36 degree
Answer:
The smallest angle is 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A right angle △ with two angles ratio as 3 : 2 we need to find the smallest angle.
- As it is a right angle △ one of the angle must be 90° and others are in the ratio 3 : 2 (given).
Step 1 :
Assuming the two angels as “3x” and “2x”
- Now, we have three angles as 3x, 2x, and 90°
According to the angle sum property of △we can say that,
- [Angle sum property of a △ says that any △'s three angles are equal to 180°]
So,
→ 3x + 2x + 90° = 180°
Step 2 :
Solving for x :
→ 3x + 2x + 90° = 180°
→ 5x - 90° = 180°
→ 5x = 180 - 90
→ 5x = 90°
→ x = 90/5
→ x = 18°
- we got the value of “x” as 18°.
The other two angles are :
→ 3x = 3(18) = 54°
→ 2x = 2(18) = 36°
- And the third angle is 90° ✔
Among all three angles the smallest angle is 36° ✔
