the number 1 4 8 on a clock face are joined to make a triangle calculate the angles of the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:
i think it's a right angle triangle
mark me as brainliest
Answer:
We know that a clock is a circle. And, a circle is made of 360°.
The clock has 12 numbers & each number represents an angle and the separation between them is
Suppose, is the clock reads, 3pm, then the angle subtended at the centre will be equal to 30° × 3 = 90°.
Concept involved:
Theorem (1) : The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Now,
∠COB = 120° (30° × 4)
From theorem (1),
The ∠CAB = 1/2 ∠COB = 60°.
And, ∠ABC = 30° × 3 = 90°.
From theorem (1), ∠ACB = 45°
Now in a triangle, all the angles sum is 180°
⇒, ∠1 + ∠4 + ∠8 = 180°
⇒ 60° +∠4 + 45° = 180°
∠4 = 75°
Hence, all the three angles are 60°, 45° and 75° HOPE IT HELPS YOU
