Question -

The angles of a triangle are in A.P. such that the greatest is 5 times the least. Find the angles in radians.



Answer -

Let the angles of the triangle be (a – d) o, ao and(a + d) o.

We know that, thesum of angles of triangle is 180°.

a – d + a + a + d =180°

3a = 180°

a = 180°/3

= 60o

Given:

Greatest angle = 5 ×least angle

Uponcross-multiplication,

Greatest angle /least angle = 5

(a+d)/(a-d) = 5

(60+d)/(60-d) = 5

By cross-multiplyingwe get,

60 + d = 300 – 5d

6d = 240

d = 240/6

= 40

Hence, angles are:

(a – d) ° = 60° –40° = 20°

a° = 60°

(a + d) ° = 60° +40° = 100°


 Anglesof triangle in radians:

(20 × π/180) rad =π/9

(60 × π/180) rad = π/3

(100 × π/180) rad =5π/9
