the angles of a triangle are in the ration 1:3:5 find their measures.
Answers
Answer:
20°, 60°, 100°
Step-by-step explanation:
let the angles be x 3x and 5x
as we know that sum of triangle is 180°
so, x+3x+5x = 180
9x = 180
x = 20
3x = 60°
5x = 100°

We know that the total angle of any triangle irrespective of its sides and types of angles is 180°
So , this according to Angle Sum Property says that :
The sum of all angles of a triangle must be equal to 180°
So when we come to this question ; we see that the ratio is 1:3:5 . When multiplied with a common multiple x ; we can just simple solve it .
- 1 × x = 1x or simply x
- 3 × x = 3x
- 5 × x = 5x
So when we take this in equation form :
x + 3x + 5x = 180°
9x = 180°
x = 180/9
x = 20°
So the value of x is 20° .
To find the measures of other angles we just need to put the value of x and simplify :
- x = 1 × 20 = 20°
- 3x = 3 × 20 = 60°
- 5x = 5 × 20 = 100°
For verification :
20+60+100 = 180
80+100 = 180
180=180
