Question

The ratio of the measures of the three angles in a triangle is 15:8:13. Find the measure of the three angles.

Answer 1

Answer: 75, 40, 65

Explanation:

Let the angles measure 15x, 8x, and 13x.

Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees,

15x+8x+13x=180, meaning that x=5.

So, the angles are 15(5)=75 degrees, 8(5)=40 degrees, and 13(5)=65 degrees.
