One of the angles of the triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles. If the
ratio of other two angles is 4:5, find measures of all angles of the triangle
Answers
Answer:
Let the other 2 angles of triangle be 4x and 5x.
The sum of 2 angles of triangle = 1 angle of triangle.
Therefore, 3rd angle = the sum of 2 angles of triangle
3rd angle = 4x + 5x = 9x
Therefore, 9x + 5x + 4x = 180° [sum of all angle of triangle = 180°]
18x = 180°
x = 180°/18
x = 10
Therefore angles = 4x, 5x and 9x.
= 4(10), 5(10), 9(10)
= 40°, 50°, 90°.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the angles be a, b and c
given a = b + c
also given b : c = 4 : 5
therefore b = 4x and c = 5x
now, as a = b + c, a = 4x + 5x => 9x
=> a + b + c = 180° [ angle sum property of ∆ ]
=> 9x + 4x + 5x = 180
=> 18x = 180
=> x = 10
angle b = 4x => 4*10 = 40°
angle c = 5x => 5*10 = 50°
angle a = b + c => 40° + 50° => 90°
all tne three angles are 90°, 50° and 40°
