Question

The ratio of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 2:3:5. What are the angle measures in order from the smallest to

Answer 1

36°, 54°, 90°

Explanation:

The ratio of the angles is 2:3:5.

Let’s represent the angles by 2x, 3x, and 5x.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

2x + 3x +5x = 180 Combine like terms.

10 x = 180 Divide each side by 10

x = 18°

The angle measures are 36°, 54°, and 90° .
