Question

In each of the following, the measures of three angles are given. State in which cases, the angles can possibly be those of a triangle:
(i) 63°, 37°, 80°
(ii) 45°, 61°, 73°
(iii) 59°, 72°, 61°
(iv) 45°, 45°, 90°
(v) 30°, 20°, 125°

Solution

(i) We know that the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.Now, let us find the sum of 63°, 37° and 80°.63°+37°+80°=180°The sum of 63°, 37° and 80° is equal to 180°.Hence, we can say that the given angles can be those of a triangle.
(ii) We know that the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.Now, let us find the sum of 45°, 61° and 73°.45°+61°+73°=179° The sum of 45°, 61° and 73° is not equal to 180°.Hence, we can say that the given angles cannot be those of a triangle.
(iii) We know that the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.Now, let us find the sum of 59°, 72° and 61°.59°+72°+61°=192° The sum of 59°, 72° and 61° is not equal to 180°.Hence, we can say that the given angles cannot be those of a triangle.
(iv) We know that the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.Now, let us find the sum of 45°, 45° and 90°.45°+45°+90°=180°The sum of 45°, 45° and 90° is equal to 180°.Hence, we can say that the given angles can be those of a triangle.
(v) We know the sum of all the three angles of a traingle is equal to 180°.Now, let us find the sum of 30°, 20° and 125°.30°+20°+125°=175° The sum of 30°, 20° and 125° is not equal to 180°.Hence, we can say that the given angles cannot be those of a triangle.
Therefore, we can conclude that in (i) and (iv), the angles can be those of a triangle.
