The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angles of a triangle given that the sides are in the ratio \(1 : \sqrt{3} : 2\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Assign Variables to the Sides**: Let the sides of the triangle be: - \( a = k \) - \( b = \sqrt{3}k \) - \( c = 2k \) Here, \( k \) is a positive constant. 2. **Use the Cosine Rule to Find Angle A**: The cosine rule states: \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \] Substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ \cos A = \frac{(\sqrt{3}k)^2 + (2k)^2 - (k)^2}{2(\sqrt{3}k)(2k)} \] Simplifying this: \[ \cos A = \frac{3k^2 + 4k^2 - k^2}{4\sqrt{3}k^2} = \frac{6k^2}{4\sqrt{3}k^2} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Therefore, \( A = \frac{\pi}{6} \) (or \( 30^\circ \)). 3. **Use the Cosine Rule to Find Angle B**: Now, we find angle \( B \) using the cosine rule: \[ \cos B = \frac{c^2 + a^2 - b^2}{2ac} \] Substituting the values: \[ \cos B = \frac{(2k)^2 + (k)^2 - (\sqrt{3}k)^2}{2(k)(2k)} \] Simplifying: \[ \cos B = \frac{4k^2 + k^2 - 3k^2}{4k^2} = \frac{2k^2}{4k^2} = \frac{1}{2} \] Therefore, \( B = \frac{\pi}{3} \) (or \( 60^\circ \)). 4. **Find Angle C**: Since the sum of angles in a triangle is \( \pi \): \[ C = \pi - A - B \] Substituting the values of \( A \) and \( B \): \[ C = \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{3} \] Converting \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) to sixths: \[ C = \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{2\pi}{6} = \pi - \frac{3\pi}{6} = \pi - \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Therefore, \( C = \frac{\pi}{2} \) (or \( 90^\circ \)). 5. **Determine the Ratio of Angles**: The angles are: - \( A = \frac{\pi}{6} \) - \( B = \frac{\pi}{3} \) - \( C = \frac{\pi}{2} \) To find the ratio: \[ A : B : C = \frac{\pi}{6} : \frac{\pi}{3} : \frac{\pi}{2} \] Dividing each term by \( \frac{\pi}{6} \): \[ 1 : 2 : 3 \] ### Final Answer: The angles of the triangle are in the ratio \( 1 : 2 : 3 \). ---
