Question
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, then find the ratio of the corresponding sides.
A.
1 : √3 : 2
B.
1 :2 : √3
C.
1 : √2 : 3
D.
1 :2 :3
Correct option is A
Given: The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. Formula Used: If the angles of the triangle are A : B : C,
then the sides opposite to these angles will be in the ratio sin(A):sin(B):sin(C).
The sum of the angles in a triangle is = 180∘. Solution: Let the angles be θ,2θ,3θ. Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180∘: θ+2θ+3θ=180∘6θ=180∘θ=30∘ So, the angles are 30∘,60∘, and 90∘.
The sides opposite to these angles will be in the ratio sin(30∘):sin(60∘):sin(90∘).
sin(30∘)=21,sin(60∘)=23,sin(90∘)=1
So, the ratio of the sides is:
21:23:1
1 : 3 : 2
The ratio of the corresponding sides is 1 : 3 : 2. Thus, the correct option is (a).
