Q49 of 153 Page 148

The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:5:7. The triangle is

Let x be the common multiple.


3x + 5x + 7x = 180


15x = 180


x = 180/15


x = 12
3x = 3 X 12 = 36


5x = 5 X 12 = 60


7x = 7 X 12 = 84


Since, all the angles are less than 90o. So, it is acute angled triangle.
