Question

If the sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 1:√3:2, then what is the ratio of its corresponding angles ?

A.

3:2:1

B.

1:√3:2

C.

2:√3:4

D.

1:2:3

Correct option is D

Given:
Ratio of sides a:b:c = 1:3:21 : \sqrt{3} : 2​​
Formula Used:
Pythagoras theorema2+b2=c2 a^2 + b^2 = c^2​ and Trigonometric ratios.
Solution:
Let the sides be x,3xx, \sqrt{3}x​, and 2x.
Notice that x2+(3x)2=x2+3x2=4x2 x^2 + (\sqrt{3}x)^2 = x^2 + 3x^2 = 4x^2​​
Also, (2x)2=4x2(2x)^2 = 4x^2​​
Since the sum of the squares of two smaller sides equals the square of the largest side, it is a right-angled triangle.
The angle opposite to the hypotenuse (2x) is 90.90^\circ.​​
Let the angle opposite to the side x be A.
sin(A)=PerpendicularHypotenuse=x2x=12\sin(A) = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{2x} = \frac{1}{2}​​
Therefore, A=30.A = 30^\circ.​​
The other acute angle opposite to 3x\sqrt{3}x is 9030=60.90^\circ - 30^\circ = 60^\circ.​​
The corresponding angles are 30,60, 30^\circ, 60^\circ,​ and 90.90^\circ.​​
Ratio of the angles = 30 : 60 : 90 = 1 : 2 : 3.
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
