Answer:

<h2>Solution :-</h2>

Let the angle be 2y, 3y and 5y.

We know that sum of all angles is 180

180 = 2y + 3y + 5y

180 = 10y

180/10 = y

18 = y

2(18) = 36⁰

3(18) = 54⁰

5(18) = 90⁰

Answer:

36°, 54°, 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to assume that the given measures are angle ratios, not side ratios. Sides in the ratios 2:3:5 will not form a triangle.

For some multiplier x, the angle values will total 180°.

2x +3x +5x = 180

x = 180/(2+3+5) = 18

Then the angle measures are ...

2x° = 2·18° = 36°

3x° = 3·18° = 54°

5x° = 5·18° = 90°

The angle measures are 36°, 54°, and 90°.

Answer:

$cos\:b = \frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that: a and b are complementary.

$\therefore a + b = 90\degree\\\\\therefore a = 90\degree - b\\\\Assuming\: sin \: ratio \: on\: both\: sides\\\\sin\:a = sin(90\degree - b)\\\\\therefore \frac{4}{5} = sin(90\degree - b)...(\because sin\:a = \frac{4}{5})\\\therefore \frac{4}{5} =cos\:b...\{\because sin(90\degree - \theta) = cos\: \theta\} \\\\\huge\purple{\boxed{\therefore cos\:b = \frac{4}{5}}}\\$
