Answer: 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a=a ,b=√3a c=2a
Here 2a> √3a> a .
By cosine rule we have
CosC=a²+b²-c²/2ab
CosC=a²+(√3a)²-(2a)²/2(a)(√3a)
= a²+3a²-4a²/2√3a²
=0
CosC= 0
Cos90°= CosC .
The angle opposite to the longest side is the longest angle.
Here Pythagoras theorem is valid ,so it is a right angled triangle.
