Question

In ∆XYZ, the measures of the angles are in the extended ratio of 2: 3: 5. What are the measures of the angles? (List the measures of the angles in order least to greatest.)

Answer 1

36:54:90

Explanation:

the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

2x:3x:5x

2x+3x+5x=180°

10x=180°

x=18°

2(18) +3(18) +5(18)

36+54+90=180 degrees.

Therefore the answer above is correct
