The angles of
triangle are in the ratio 3:24:
find the measure of each angle
.
Answers
Ratio=3:2:4
Let the angles be x
Then angles= 3x:2x:4x
We know that sum of all angles of traingle=180°
so, 3x+2x+4x=180°
9x=180
First angle=3x=3×20=60°
Second angle=2x=2×20=40°
Third angle=4x=4×20=80°
Angles of triangle in ratio = 3 : 2 : 4
Let us name the angles = "x"
So, after naming the angles we "x"
= Angle 1 = 3x
= Angle 2 = 2x
= Angle 3 = 4x
So, to find out the actual measure of angles we have to find out the value of "x".
So, let's find out the value of "x".
Sum of all angles in a triangle = 180°
By the angle sum property we got that
= 3x + 2x + 4x = 180°
= 9x = 180°
= x = 180 ÷ 9 = 20
So, the value of "x" = 20
Now, as we got the value of "x"
We can easily find the actual value of the angles
Let's find it out :-
Angle 1 = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60°
Angle 2 = 2x = 2 × 20 = 40°
Angle 3 = 4x = 4 × 20 = 80°
Therefore, the actual measure of the angles are :-
60°, 40° and 80°
