One of the exterior angles of a triangle is 105°and the interior opposite angles are in the ratio 2:5 .Find the angles of the triangle.
Answers
7x=105
x=15
one angle=30
other angle=75
✬ Angles = 30° ,75° & 75° ✬
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Measure of exterior angle of triangle is 105°.
Ratio of opposite angles of triangle is 2 : 5.
To Find:
Measure of angles of triangle ?
Solution: Let x be the common in given ratios and ABC be a triangle.
Here in triangle ABC we have
∠ACD = exterior angle of ∆.
∠BAC : ∠CBA = 2 : 5.
[ Remind a theorem ]
The sum of exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles.
∠BAC & ∠CBA are opposite interior angles.
⟹ ∠BAC + ∠CBA = ∠ACD
⟹ 2x + 5x = 105°
⟹ 7x = 105°
⟹ x = 105°/7
⟹ x = 15°
So , measure of
∠BAC = 2 × 15 = 30°
∠CBA = 5 × 15 = 75°
Now by using a property of triangle.
[ Angle sum property ]
It states that sum of all interior angles of a ∆ is equal to 180°.
➟ ∠BAC + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180°
➟ 30° + 75° + ∠ACB = 180°
➟ ∠ACB = 180° – 105°
➟ ∠ACB = 75°
