Question : 107 of 150
Marks: +1, -0
In a triangle, one of the exterior angles is 84^{°}. If its interior opposite angles are in the ratio of 1 ∶ 2, then the angles of the triangle are ______
Solution:  
Concept:
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two opposite interior angles.
The sum of all interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Explanation:
We are given that one exterior angle of a triangle is 84°84°.
We are also told that the two interior opposite angles are in the ratio 1:21 : 2.
Let the two interior opposite angles be xx and 2x2x.
According to the property of exterior angles, the sum of these two interior opposite angles must be equal to the exterior angle.
So, we can write the equation: x+2x=84°x + 2x = 84°.
Combining the terms, we get 3x=84°3x = 84°.
To find the value of xx, we divide 84°84° by 33: x=84°3=28°x = \frac{84°}{3} = 28°.
So, the first interior opposite angle is x=28°x = 28°.
The second interior opposite angle is 2x=2×28°=56°2x = 2 \times 28° = 56°.
Now we have two angles of the triangle: 28°28° and 56°56°.
To find the third angle of the triangle, we use the fact that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°180°.
Let the third angle be yy. Then, 28°+56°+y=180°28° + 56° + y = 180°.
Adding the known angles, we get 84°+y=180°84° + y = 180°.
Subtracting 84°84° from both sides to find yy: y=180°84°=96°y = 180° - 84° = 96°.
Therefore, the angles of the triangle are 28°28°, 56°56°, and 96°96°.
Answer:
The angles of the triangle are 28°, 56°, 96°.
