If the angles of a triangle with measures in the ratio of 5 : 6 :7, then find the measure of the smallest angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40 50 60 70 @AlexandervonHumboldt2 Do you know

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

add the parts of the ratio... this is called the unitary method Parts = 5 + 6 + 7 what's the answer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yeah

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great so the goal is to find the value of 1 part... then work from there. so the angle sum of a triangle is 180 and you have 18 parts... what is the value of 1 part in the ratio... 180/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10!

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great so the smallest angle is 5 parts... what size is it..?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

5*10

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

an so you can find others angles too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HMMM... So it would be B. 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help with something else
