Two angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4: 5. If the sum of these angles is equal to the third angle, find the angles of the triangle.
Let the given two angles of a triangle be 4x and 5x
According to the question
3rd angle = 4x + 5x = 9x
Using angle sum property of a triangle
4x + 5x + 9x = 180°
⇒ 18x = 180°
⇒ x = 10
So, the angles of the given triangle are:
4x = 40, 5x = 50
and 9x = 90
