The ratio of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 1:4:5 what are the angle measures?

Sagot :

Answer:

18° , 72° , & 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set all 3 numbers in the ratio given and multiply it by 'x', then set it equal to 180° because all angles in a triangle add up to 180°

The equation will be:

1x + 4x + 5x = 180°

10x = 180°

divide both sides by 10 to get 1x on the left side:

[tex]\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{180}{10}[/tex]

x = 18

Then plug 18 in, instead of 'x', similar to in the first step:

1(18) = 18°

4(18) = 72°

5(18) = 90°
