The measure of one angle of triangle is 120 and other two are in the ratio of 2:3 ,then find the angle
Answers
Answer:
Let the ratio of two sides be 2x and 3x
Length of first angle = 120°
According to the question
2x+3x+120°=180° [Angle sum property of triangle]
5x=180°-120°
5x=60°
x=60/5
x=12°
therefore, length of second angle=2x
=2(12°)
=24°
Length of 3rd angle=3x
=3(12°)
=36°

Solution
Sum of measure of angles of triangle is 180°.
As if the angles are a, b, c then we can write it as
a + b + c = 180°
In the given statement one angle of∆ is 120° and the two other are in the ratio of 2: 3 , we can write the given ratio as 2x and 3x
Now as we have discussed above the sum of these 3 angles will be 180°
Calculation
a + b + c = 180°
so,
120 + 2x + 3x = 180°
5x = 180°-120°
5x = 60°
x. = 60/5
x = 12°
Now after finding the value of X let's put it with the given ratios.So the other two angles will be
2(12) = 24°
3(12) = 36°
So the 3 angles of triangle are 120° ,36°, 24°
Verification
As we above talked about the sum of angles of triangle, applying that
120 + 36 + 24 = 180
Hence verified.
