The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the largest angle in a triangle where the angles are in the ratio of 1:4:7, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ratio**: The angles of the triangle are given in the ratio 1:4:7. This means we can express the angles in terms of a variable \( x \). Let: - First angle = \( 1x \) - Second angle = \( 4x \) - Third angle = \( 7x \) 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 1x + 4x + 7x = 180 \] 3. **Combining Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side of the equation: \[ 12x = 180 \] 4. **Solving for \( x \)**: To find the value of \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 12: \[ x = \frac{180}{12} = 15 \] 5. **Finding Each Angle**: Now that we have \( x = 15 \), we can find the measures of each angle: - First angle = \( 1x = 1 \times 15 = 15 \) degrees - Second angle = \( 4x = 4 \times 15 = 60 \) degrees - Third angle = \( 7x = 7 \times 15 = 105 \) degrees 6. **Identifying the Largest Angle**: Among the angles calculated, the largest angle is: \[ 105 \text{ degrees} \] ### Conclusion: The value of the largest angle in the triangle is **105 degrees**. ---
