47 degrees, 12 degrees, 31 degrees
50 degrees, 20 degrees, 20 degrees
25 degrees, 25 degrees, 100 degrees
Answers
Answer:
19° ,70° and 91° only one represent the interior angle of triangle.
because the sum of these angle is 180°
other set doesn't represent angle of triangle
hope it helps
thanks for giving me a chance to help you
Given : The given sets of three angles are :
- 19°,70°,91°
- 19°,70°,91°47°,12°,31°
- 19°,70°,91°47°,12°,31°50°,20°,20°
- 19°,70°,91°47°,12°,31°50°,20°,20°25°,25°,100°
To find : The set of the three angles which can represent the interior angles of a triangle.
Solution :
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the required set of three angles)
Now, we know that :
Sum of three interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°.
So, the set of three angles which has a sum of 180° will be set of three angles which can represent the three interior angles of a triangle.
The sums are :
- 19° + 70° + 91° = 180°
- 47° + 12° + 31° = 90°
- 50° + 20° + 20° = 90°
- 25° + 25° + 100° = 150°
So, only the first set of three angles (i.e. 19°,70°,91°) is able to produce 180° as the sum. That's why, only this set of three angles is able to represent the three interior angles of a triangle.
Hence, 19°,70°,91° could represent the interior angles of a triangle.
