Question

i am looking to figure out ratios in geometry. If the angle of a trianle are in the extended ratio 1:3:5, find their measures

Answer 1

x+3x+5 = 180.

Answer 2

Or,

\[\frac{x}{8} \times 180\]

Answer 3

where x is the ratio.

Answer 4

ok - let me try that - give me a moment

Answer 5

Sure.

Answer 6

why isn't it 5x

Answer 7

typo.. sorry.
that's 5x/

Answer 8

so it should be set up as x + 3x + 5x = 180

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

so then the next step is 4x + 5x = 180 and then it would be 9x = 180 and you divide it from there

Answer 11

Correct.
u will get.
x = 20.

so the smallest angle is 20.

Answer 12

so then you subtract that from 180 and get 160 for the other angles

Answer 13

No.
now.

u know the value of two other angles. that is 3x and 5x.
and you know the value of x for well.
so,

3(x) = 3(20) = ? degrees/
And
5(x) = 5(20) = ? degress

Answer 14

so then i would get 60, 100, and 20.

Answer 15

Wow, you got them right. :D

Answer 16

:) thank you so much for ur help.

Answer 17

You welcome.

Answer 18

do u have time to help me with a quadrilateral?

Answer 19

idk. i will see. if i can solve them for sure.

Answer 20

alright. it has one angle of x+20, another of x-50, third one x+2, the last is x

Answer 21

post that on left please.

Answer 22

ok. thanks again.
