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). \sin(A) : \sin(B) : \sin(C).

The sum of the angles in a triangle is = 180.180^\circ.
Solution:
Let the angles be θ,2θ,3θ. \theta, 2\theta, 3\theta.​​
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always  180:180^\circ:​​
θ+2θ+3θ=180 6θ=180 θ=30\theta + 2\theta + 3\theta = 180^\circ \\ \ \\ 6\theta = 180^\circ \\ \ \\\theta = 30^\circ​​
So, the angles are 30,60,30^\circ, 60^\circ,  and 90.90^\circ.

The sides opposite to these angles will be in the ratio sin(30):sin(60):sin(90).\sin(30^\circ) : \sin(60^\circ) : \sin(90^\circ).

sin(30)=12,sin(60)=32,sin(90)=1\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \sin(90^\circ) = 1

So, the ratio of the sides is:

12:32:1\frac{1}{2} : \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} : 1​​

1 : 3\sqrt{3}​ : 2

The ratio of the corresponding sides is 1 : 3\sqrt{3}​ : 2.
Thus, the correct option is (a).
