If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3, what is the type of such triangle ? |
Isosceles triangle Equilateral triangle Right-angle triangle Obtuse-angle triangle |
Right-angle triangle |
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. |
