Question

4. The ratio of the measures of the three angles in a triangle is 7:8:5, what is the

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the angles be ' 7x, 8x and 5x'

as we know, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degree, so,

7x + 8x + 5x = 180

20 = 180

x = 180/2

x = 90 degrees

7x = 7 × 90 = 630 degree

8x = 8 × 90 = 720 degrees

5x = 5 × 90 = 540 degrees

therefore, 5x is the smallest degrees
