The angles of a triangle are 3x^0, (2x+20)^0 and (5x-40)^0.find the angles hence show that the triangle is an equilateral triangle?
Answers
Answer:
The angles of a triangle are 3x, (2x+20), and (5x-40).Find the angles. Show that the triangle is an equilateral triangle."
Angles of a triangle add up to 180.
3x + 2x + 20 + 5x - 40 = 180 {sum of angles equals 180}
10x - 20 = 180 {combine like terms}
10x = 200 {added 20 to both sides}
x = 20 {divided both sides by 10}
Substitute 20, in for x, into sides
3x = 60
2x + 20 = 60
5x - 40 = 60
It is an equilateral triangle because all of the angles are equal}

Properties of a triangle
A triangle has three sides, three angles, and three vertices.
The sum of all internal angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. This is called the angle sum property of a triangle.
The sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
The side opposite to the largest angle of a triangle is the largest side.
Any exterior angle of the triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles. This is called the exterior angle property of a triangle.
Based on the angle measurement, there are three types of triangles:
Acute Angled Triangle : A triangle that has all three angles less than 90° is an acute angle triangle.
Right-Angled Triangle : A triangle that has one angle that measures exactly 90° is a right-angle triangle.
Obtuse Angled Triangle : triangle that has one angle that measures more than 90° is an obtuse angle triangle.
