Question

In a right triangle og two smaller angles are in the ratio 1:4. Compute these angles

Answer 1

Here is your answer...

In a right angle triangle,
Two smaller angles are in the ratio 1:4.
Let the common multiple of above ratio be x.
Therefore the two angles are 1x and 4x.

90+1x+4x=180...(angles of a triangle)
5x=180-90
x=90/5
x=18

The two smaller angles are

1x=1x18=18°
4x=4x18=72°

Hope it helps you.
