The measure of one of the exterior angles of a triangle is twice one of the interior opposite angles and the measure of the other interior opposite angles is 60° . The triangle is a/an: |
right triangle scalene triangle isosceles triangle equilateral triangle |
equilateral triangle |
Let one of the interior opposites angles = a The measure of one of the exterior angle = a + 60° According to the question, ⇒ 2 × one of the interior opposite angles = a + 60° ⇒ 2a = a + 60° ⇒ 2a - a = 60° ⇒ a = 60° Now the third interior angle = 180° - a - 60° = 180° - 60° - 60° = 60° Now, if all the angles are same and of 60o then we can say that it is a equilateral triangle. |
