Question

A student is finding the measures of the angles in a triangle that have the ratio 4:4:7. Find the mistake and correct it.

Answer 1

suppose 4:4:7 be 4x, 4x, 7x

or, 15x = 180°

or, X = 180/15

or, X = 12

therefore,

4x = 4x12= 48

4x= 4x12= 48

7x= 7x12= 84

so if you plus all of them you get 180
