If in any triangle, the angles are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 1, then what will be the ratio of its sides? |
1 : 2 : 3 2 : 1 : 2 1 : 2 : 1 $1 : \sqrt{2} : 1$ |
$1 : \sqrt{2} : 1$ |
Ratio of angles of triangle, 1 : 2 : 1 Ratio = a : 2a : a According to the question, ⇒ a + 2a + a = \({180}^\circ\) ⇒ 4a = \({180}^\circ\) ⇒ a = \({45}^\circ\) ⇒ 2a = \({90}^\circ\) Therefore, it is a right angled triangle, Let AB + BC = b cm ⇒ \( { (AC)}^{2 } \) = \( { (AB)}^{2 } \) + \( { (BC)}^{2 } \) ⇒ \( { (AC)}^{2 } \) = \( { 2b}^{2 } \) ⇒ AC = b\(\sqrt {2 }\) ⇒ Ratio of AB : AC : BC = b : b\(\sqrt {2 }\) : b = 1 : \(\sqrt {2 }\) : 1 |
