the measure of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4. In degrees, the measure if the largest angle is ?

Question

michele_laino · Answer

please, note that you have a chain of ratios. Now If I call with x, y and z the amplitudes of internal angles of your triangle, we can write:
x+y+z=180
do you agree?

$$x+y+z=180°$$
is it right?

>>angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4

Represent the angles as 2x, 3x, and 4x where x is a common factor of all 3 angles.

2x + 3x + 4x = 180 because the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.

9x = 180

x = 20

The largest angle has measure 4*x. What will that be?  @YourFlyGuy
