Question -:

Which set of measures could be the measures of the interior angles of a triangle?

a.30°, 90°, 30°

b.32°, 59°, 79°

c.35°, 65°, 75°

d.22°, 37°, 121°

Explanation -:

In this question we are asked to find out which one could be the measures of the interior angles of a triangle. Add the three measure angles given if you get 180° then those angles can be the interior angles of a triangle.

We know that,


\bull \: \small\boxed{ \rm{ Sum \: of \: all \: interior \: angles \: of \: a \: triangle = 180°}}

a) 30°, 90°, 30°

→ 30° + 90° + 30° = 180°

→ 150° ≠ 180°

Option a) is not the correct answer.

b) 32° , 59° , 79°

→ 32° + 59° + 79° = 180°

→ 170° ≠ 180°

Option b) is not the correct answer.

c) 35° , 65° , 75°

→ 35° + 65° + 75° = 180°

→ 175° ≠ 180°

Option c) is not the correct answer.

d) 22° , 37° , 121°

→ 22° + 37° + 121° = 180°

→ 180° = 180°

Hence, opition d) is the correct answer

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Whatever angle you pick the three possibilities must add to 180.

a) adds to 150

b) 32 + 59 + 79 = 170. Close but not close enough

c) c has three 5s. The total will end in 5. Not the answer.

d) d does add to 180. It's the answer.
