The measure of an external angle ofa trangle is 80 and the ratio of the two intemal opposite
angles is 3:5 What is the measure of its adjacent intemal angle ?
Answers
3 :5
one of the exterior angles of a triangle is 80 degrees and the interior opposite angles are in the ratio 3 :5
.
Exterior angle = sum of interior opposite angles
let the interior angles be 3x and 5x
80=3x+5x
80=8x
x= 10
the angles are 30,50
the other angle is 180-(30+50) = 100
Answer:
100°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of an external angle ofa trangle is 80 and the ratio of the two intemal opposite
angles is 3:5
Let assume ABC is Triangle and angle ACD is external angle
So Angle ACD= 80°
and angle ABC : angle BAC = 3:5
angle ABC = 3x and angle BAC = 5x
angle ABC + angle BAC = angle ACD
3x + 5x = 80
8x = 80
x = 80/8
x= 10
angle ABC = 3x = 3×10 = 30°
angle BAC = 5x = 5×10 = 50°
Now, in Triangle ABC,
Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180°
30° + 50° +Angle C = 180°
80° + Angle C = 180°
Angle C = 180°- 80°
Angle C = 100°
