The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angles of a triangle whose sides are in the ratio \(1 : \sqrt{3} : 2\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the sides of the triangle**: Let the sides of the triangle be represented as \(a = 1k\), \(b = \sqrt{3}k\), and \(c = 2k\), where \(k\) is a positive constant. 2. **Determine the type of triangle**: Since the sides are in the ratio \(1 : \sqrt{3} : 2\), we can check if they form a right triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem, if \(c\) is the longest side, then: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] Substituting the values: \[ (1k)^2 + (\sqrt{3}k)^2 = (2k)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ k^2 + 3k^2 = 4k^2 \implies 4k^2 = 4k^2 \] Thus, the triangle is a right triangle with the right angle opposite the longest side \(c\). 3. **Identify the angles**: In a right triangle, the angles can be found using the ratios of the sides. We know: - The angle opposite side \(a\) (1k) will be \(\theta_1\). - The angle opposite side \(b\) (\(\sqrt{3}k\)) will be \(\theta_2\). - The angle opposite side \(c\) (2k) will be \(90^\circ\). 4. **Calculate the angles**: Using trigonometric ratios: - For \(\theta_1\): \[ \tan(\theta_1) = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \implies \theta_1 = 30^\circ \] - For \(\theta_2\): \[ \tan(\theta_2) = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} \implies \theta_2 = 60^\circ \] - The third angle is \(90^\circ\). 5. **Express the angles in ratio**: The angles of the triangle are \(30^\circ\), \(60^\circ\), and \(90^\circ\). To express these angles in ratio: \[ 30 : 60 : 90 \] Simplifying this ratio by dividing each term by 30 gives: \[ 1 : 2 : 3 \] ### Final Answer: The angles of the triangle are in the ratio \(1 : 2 : 3\).
