The correct Answer is:
To find the radian measure of the largest angle of a triangle where the angles are in the ratio of 1:2:3, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the angles based on the ratio Let the angles of the triangle be represented as: - First angle = \( x \) - Second angle = \( 2x \) - Third angle = \( 3x \) ### Step 2: Write the equation for the sum of angles in a triangle The sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ x + 2x + 3x = 180^\circ \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 6x = 180^\circ \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) To find the value of \( x \), divide both sides by 6: \[ x = \frac{180^\circ}{6} = 30^\circ \] ### Step 5: Calculate the angles Now we can find the measures of the three angles: - First angle = \( x = 30^\circ \) - Second angle = \( 2x = 2 \times 30^\circ = 60^\circ \) - Third angle = \( 3x = 3 \times 30^\circ = 90^\circ \) ### Step 6: Identify the largest angle The largest angle among \( 30^\circ, 60^\circ, \) and \( 90^\circ \) is \( 90^\circ \). ### Step 7: Convert the largest angle to radians To convert degrees to radians, we use the conversion factor \( \frac{\pi \text{ radians}}{180^\circ} \): \[ 90^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] ### Final Answer The radian measure of the largest angle of the triangle is: \[ \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] ---
