one angle of a triangle is 60. the other two angles are in ratio 6:4 . find the other two angles??
Answers
Given:
One angle of a triangle is 60° and the other two angles are in the ratio of 6:4.
To find:
- The angles of triangle.
Solution:
❍ Let the two angles of the triangle be 6x and 4x
We know that,
Hence,
- First angle = 6x = 6 × 12 = 72°
- Second angle = 4x = 4 × 12 = 48°
- Given, Third angle = 60°

★ The two other angles of the triangle are 72° and 48°.
Step-by-step explanation
Analysis -
⠀⠀⠀In the question, it has been stated that the value of one angle of triangle is 60° and the two other angles are in the ratio 6 : 4. We've been asked to find the values of the second and the third angle of the triangle.
Solution -
⠀⠀⠀Since the values of second and third angle of the triangle is given in the form of ratio, let's consider them as:
- Second angle = 6k
- Third angle = 4k
Here, we have to use the angle sum property of a triangle to find the value of k.
According to a triangle, the sum of its three interior angles equals 180°, i.e.,
As we have obtained the value of k, let's plug in its value in the expressions formed for second and third angle.
- Second angle = 6k = 6(12) =
- Third angle = 4k = 4(12) =
Verification -
The value of L.H.S. is equal to the value of R.H.S. Hence, the answer obtained is correct.
Additional information -
The properties of a triangle are listed below:
- The polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle.
- Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side.
- Difference of any two sides of a triangle is less than the third side.
- The side opposite to the largest angle is the largest and vice versa.
- The side opposite to the smallest angle is the smallest ans vice versa.
- One exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.
- Sum of all exterior angles of a triangle is 360°.
