Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of the opposite interior angles = 8 : 9 = 8x : 9x
The exterior angle of a triangle = sum of the opposite interior angles, hence
8x + 9x = 119
17x = 119 ( divide both sides by 17 )
x = 7
8 parts = 8x = 8 × 7 = 56
9 parts = 9x = 9 × 7 = 63
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°
subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180 for third angle in triangle
180° - (56 + 63)° = 180° - 119° = 61°
The 3 angles of the triangle are 56°, 61°, 63°
