Answer:

The answer is 60 degrees for each angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A interior angle of a triangle is a maximum and minimum of 180 degrees. Therefore, if the three consecutive angles are equal, then They each should be 60.

The sides of right angle triangle are consecutive positive integer. The area of right angled triangle is 6 square units  

Solution:

The sides of a right angled triangle are consecutive positive integers

Let the sides be x, x + 1, x + 2

Let the hypotenuse of triangle be (x + 2)

By Pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

Therefore,

(x+2)^2 = x^2 + (x+1)^2\\\\Expand\\\\x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1\\\\x^2 -2x -3=0\\\\Factor\\\\(x+1)(x-3) = 0\\\\Therefore\\\\x + 1 = 0\\\\x = -1\\\\x - 3 = 0\\\\x = 3

We have,

x = -1 and x = 3

Given is a positive integer, so ignore -1

Therefore,

x = 3

x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Then the three sides of triangle are 3, 4 and 5

Base and height are 3 and 4 units respectively

Area\ of\ triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height

Area\ of\ triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4\\\\Area\ of\ triangle = 6

Therefore the area of right angled triangle is 6 square units
