The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning laid out in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Assume the least angle**: Let the least angle of the triangle be \( a \). 2. **Determine the angles in A.P.**: Since the angles are in arithmetic progression (A.P.) with a common difference of \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the least angle, the angles can be expressed as: - First angle: \( a \) - Second angle: \( a + \frac{a}{3} = \frac{4a}{3} \) - Third angle: \( a + 2 \cdot \frac{a}{3} = \frac{5a}{3} \) 3. **Sum of angles in a triangle**: The sum of the angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ a + \frac{4a}{3} + \frac{5a}{3} = 180^\circ \] 4. **Combine the angles**: To combine the angles, we find a common denominator: \[ a + \frac{4a + 5a}{3} = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ a + \frac{9a}{3} = 180^\circ \] \[ a + 3a = 180^\circ \] \[ 4a = 180^\circ \] 5. **Solve for \( a \)**: Dividing both sides by 4 gives: \[ a = \frac{180^\circ}{4} = 45^\circ \] 6. **Calculate the angles**: Now substituting \( a \) back to find the other angles: - First angle: \( a = 45^\circ \) - Second angle: \( \frac{4a}{3} = \frac{4 \times 45^\circ}{3} = 60^\circ \) - Third angle: \( \frac{5a}{3} = \frac{5 \times 45^\circ}{3} = 75^\circ \) 7. **Use the Sine Rule to find the ratio of sides**: By the sine rule, the ratio of the sides opposite to the angles is given by: \[ \frac{a}{b} : \frac{b}{c} : \frac{c}{a} = \sin(45^\circ) : \sin(60^\circ) : \sin(75^\circ) \] 8. **Calculate the sine values**: - \( \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \) - \( \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \sin(75^\circ) = \sin(45^\circ + 30^\circ) = \sin(45^\circ)\cos(30^\circ) + \cos(45^\circ)\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}} \) 9. **Form the ratio**: The ratio of the sides is: \[ \frac{1/\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}/2} : \frac{\sqrt{3}/2}{\sqrt{2}/2} : \frac{(\sqrt{3}+1)/2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}/2} \] Simplifying gives: \[ 1 : \sqrt{3} : \sqrt{3} + 1 \] ### Final Ratio of Sides: The sides of the triangle are in the ratio \( 1 : \sqrt{3} : \sqrt{3} + 1 \).
