Answers
- The measure of an angle of a triangle are in the ratio 5:6:7
- The measure of angles
- Let the 1st angle be 5x
- Let the 2nd angle be 6x
- Let the 3rd angle be 7x
The measure of an angle of a triangle are in the ratio 5:6:7
➠ 5x ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓵
➠ 6x ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓶
➠ 7x ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓷
Also we know that sum of all angles of triangle is 180°
So,
➜ 5x + 6x + 7x = 180
➜ 18x = 180
➜
➨ x = 10
⟮ Putting x = 10 in ⓵ ⟯
➜ 5x
➜ 5(10)
➨ 50
- Hence the 1st angle is 50°
⟮ Putting x = 10 in ⓶ ⟯
➜ 6x
➜ 6(10)
➨ 60
- Hence 2nd angle is 60°
⟮ Putting x = 10 in ⓷ ⟯
➜ 7x
➜ 7(10)
➨ 70°
- Hence 3rd angle is 70°
∴ The angles are 50° , 60° , 70°

Verification
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
50° + 60° + 70° = 180°

Given : The angles of Triangle are in ratio 5:6:7.
To find : Measure of each angle
Solution : Let the first angle = 5x
ㅤㅤLet the second angle = 6x
ㅤㅤLet the third angle = 7x
ㅤㅤ
We know, The sum of angles of triangle = 180°
ㅤㅤ•°• , 5x + 6x + 7x = 180°
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ18x = 180°
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤx = 180/18
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤx = 10°
Therefore, first angle = 5x = 5(10)= 50°
ㅤㅤㅤㅤSecond angle = 6x = 6(10) = 60°
ㅤㅤㅤㅤThird angle = 7x = 7(10) = 70°
