1. The ratio of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 8:3:4. Find the measures of the angles.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The measures of the angles of the triangle are 96° , 36° and 48°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of the angles of a triangle =  8 : 3 : 4

Let x be the common factor in the ratio.

⇒The angles of the triangle is 8 x, 3 x and 4 x.

Now, By ANGLE SUM PROPERTY of a triangle:

Sum of all interior angles of a any given triangle is always 180°.

So, here 8x + 3x+ 4x = 180°

or, 15x = 180°

or, x = 180° / 15 = 12

x = 12

So, the first angle of the triangle = 8x = 8 x 12 = 96°

Second angle of the triangle = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36°

Third angle of the triangle = 4x = 4 x 12 = 48°
