The anlges of a triangle are in ratio 3 : 5 : 7. The triangle is
(a) Acute angled
(b) Obtuse angled
(c) Right angled
(d) An isosceles triangle
ANSWER:
(a) acute-angled
Let the angles measure 3x°,5x°and7x∘.
Then,
3x+5x+7x=180°⇒15x=180°⇒x=12∘
Therefore, the angles are 312°=36°,512°=60°and712°=84∘.
Hence, the triangle is acute-angled.
