Question

The measures of three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. Then, the triangle is
(a) right-angled
(b) equilateral
(c) isosceles
(d) obtuse-angled

Open in App
Solution

(a) right-angled

Let the angles be x°, 2x° and 3x°.
In a triangle, the sum of its angles is equal to 180°.
Therefore,
x + 2x + 3x = 180
or 6x = 180
or x = 30

Hence, the angles are 30°, 60° and 90°.
