The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the largest angle in a triangle where the angles are in the ratio 2:3:4, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Ratio of Angles**: The angles of the triangle are given in the ratio 2:3:4. This means we can express the angles in terms of a common variable, say \( x \). 2. **Express the Angles**: - First angle = \( 2x \) - Second angle = \( 3x \) - Third angle = \( 4x \) 3. **Use the Triangle Angle Sum Property**: The sum of all angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 2x + 3x + 4x = 180^\circ \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 9x = 180^\circ \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: To find the value of \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 9: \[ x = \frac{180^\circ}{9} = 20^\circ \] 6. **Find Each Angle**: Now, substitute \( x \) back into the expressions for each angle: - First angle = \( 2x = 2 \times 20^\circ = 40^\circ \) - Second angle = \( 3x = 3 \times 20^\circ = 60^\circ \) - Third angle = \( 4x = 4 \times 20^\circ = 80^\circ \) 7. **Identify the Largest Angle**: Among the angles \( 40^\circ, 60^\circ, \) and \( 80^\circ \), the largest angle is \( 80^\circ \). 8. **Select the Correct Option**: The largest angle is \( 80^\circ \), which corresponds to option 2. ### Final Answer: The largest angle is \( 80^\circ \) (Option 2). ---
