The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of the angles of a triangle with one of its exterior angles measuring 120 degrees and the two interior opposite angles in the ratio 1:2, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Exterior Angle**: - Given that one of the exterior angles is 120 degrees. 2. **Set Up the Interior Angles**: - Let the two interior angles be \(X\) and \(2X\) (since they are in the ratio 1:2). 3. **Use the Exterior Angle Property**: - According to the property of triangles, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. - Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ X + 2X = 120^\circ \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: - This simplifies to: \[ 3X = 120^\circ \] 5. **Solve for \(X\)**: - Divide both sides by 3: \[ X = \frac{120^\circ}{3} = 40^\circ \] 6. **Find the Second Interior Angle**: - Since the second angle is \(2X\): \[ 2X = 2 \times 40^\circ = 80^\circ \] 7. **Calculate the Third Angle**: - The sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Let the third angle be \(Y\): \[ X + 2X + Y = 180^\circ \] - Substitute \(X\) and \(2X\): \[ 40^\circ + 80^\circ + Y = 180^\circ \] 8. **Solve for \(Y\)**: - Combine the known angles: \[ 120^\circ + Y = 180^\circ \] - Subtract 120 degrees from both sides: \[ Y = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ \] 9. **Conclusion**: - The measures of the angles of the triangle are: - \(40^\circ\) - \(80^\circ\) - \(60^\circ\) ### Final Answer: The angles of the triangle are \(40^\circ\), \(80^\circ\), and \(60^\circ\).
