Question

Angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. Find the measure of the largest angle.

A 80° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 100° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 120° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 90° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the measure of the angles of the given triangle be 'x°', '2x°', and '3x°', respectively. Sum of angles of a triangle = x + 2x + 3x = 180° So, x = (180°/6) = 30° Therefore, the largest angle of the triangle = 3x = 3 × 30° = 90° Hence, option d.
