Question

the measures of the angles of a triangle are in the extended ratio 2:2:8 what is the measure of the smallest angel

Answer 1

\(\large \begin{array}{llllll}
2&:&2&:&8\\
\uparrow &&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
2&&2&&2\cdot 4
\end{array}\qquad
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{2 angles are identical}\\
\textit{the other is 4 times either of the other 2}
\end{array}\)

Answer 2

hmm meant to be 4x rather ... ok... so \(\large \begin{array}{llllll}
2&:&2&:&8\\
\uparrow &&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
2&&2&&2\cdot 4
\end{array}\qquad
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{2 angles are identical}\\
\textit{the other is 4 times either of the other 2}
\end{array}\)
