If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3, what is the type of such triangle ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let 1st angle be x
⇒ 2nd angle = 2x
⇒ 3rd angle = 3x
Now,
⇒ Sum of angles = 180
⇒ x + 2x + 3x = 180
⇒ 6x = 180
⇒ x = \({30}^\circ\)
Angles will be
⇒ 1st angle = x = \({30}^\circ\)
⇒ 2nd angle = 2x = 2 x 30 = \({60}^\circ\)
⇒ 3rd angle = 3x = 3 x 30 = \({90}^\circ\)
As one of the angles is \({90}^\circ\), therefore it is a right angled triangle.
