Given :–
- The second angle of a triangle is double the first angle.
- The third angle of a triangle is 40 less than the first angle.
To Find :–
- All the three angles.
Solution :–
Let,
- The first angle be x.
The second angle is double than the first angle.
So, first angle × 2.
It means,
- Second angle = 2x
The third angle is 40 less than the first angle.
So, Forst angle – 40.
It means,
- Third angle = x – 40
We know that,
Sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°
⟹ first angle + second angle + third angle = 180°
⟹ x + 2x + x – 40 = 180°
⟹ 4x – 40 = 180°
⟹ 4x = 180° + 40
⟹ 4x = 220°
⟹ x =
Cut the denominator and the numerator by 2, we obtain
⟹ x =
Again, cut the denominator and the numerator by 2, we obtain
⟹ x = 55°
- x = 55°
So the angles will be :–
- 1st angle = x = 55°
- 2nd angle = 2x = 2 × 55° = 110°
- 3rd angle = x – 40 = 55° – 40 = 15°
Check :–
We know that,
Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°
⟹ 1st angle + 2nd angle + 3rd angle = 180°
⟹ 55° + 110° + 15° = 180°
⟹ 70° + 110° = 180°
⟹ 180° = 180°
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, the L.H.S. is equal to the R.H.S.
So, the answer is correct.
