Question 9.
If one angle of a triangle is 60° and the other two angles are in the ratio 2 : 3, find these angles.
Solution:
One angle of a triangle = 60°
Other two angles are in the ratio 2 : 3
Sum of other two angles = 180° – 60° = 120°
Let one of other two angles = 2x
Then third angle = 3x
2x + 3x = 120°
⇒ 5x = 120°

Other two angles of the triangle are 48°, 72°

Question 10.
If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, find the angles. Classify the triangle in two different ways.
Solution:
Sum of angles of a triangle = 180°
Ratio in the angles of a triangle = 1 : 2 : 3
Let first angle = x
Second angle = 2x
Third angle = 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 180°
⇒ 6x = 180°
⇒ x = 30°
∴ First angle = 30°
Second angle = 30° × 2 = 60°
and third angle = 30° × 3 = 90°
∵ One angles is 90°
∴ It is a right angled triangle
∵ Sides an different
∴ It is a scalene triangle.

Question 11.
Can a triangle have three angles whose measures are
(i) 65°, 74°, 39°?
(ii) \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) right angle, 1 right angle, 60°?
Solution:
We know that sum of angles of a triangle = 180°
(i) Angles are 65°, 74°, 39°
Sum of angles = 65° + 74° + 39° = 178°
178° ≠ 180°
There three angles can not be of triangle
(ii) \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) right angle = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 90° = 30°
1 right angle = 90°
Third angle = 60°
Sum of angles = 30° + 90° + 60° = 180°
These angles are of a triangle.
