Answer:
ratio 2 : 3 : 5
size of smallest angle
[tex]180 \times \frac{2}{10} \\ = 36[/tex]
Answer:
The smallest angle of a triangle is 36°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, the ratio of angles of a triangle is 2 : 3 : 5
Let the angles of a triangle be ∠A, ∠B and ∠C.
∠A = 2x, ∠B = 3x, ∠C = 5x
∠A+∠B + ∠C= 180°
[sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°]
2x + 3x + 5x = 180°
10x = 180°
x=180°/10 =18°
∠A=2x=2 x 18° = 36°
∠B = 3x = 3 x 18° = 54°
∠C = 5x = 5 x 18° = 90°
Hence, the smallest angle of a triangle is 36°.
