The angles of a triangle are in A. P. and the number of degrees in the least angles is to the number of degrees in the mean angle as 1 : 120. Find the angles in radians .
Given that angles are in AP, Let the three angles be,
(a – d), a and (a + d)
Such that, all three angles are in degrees and d>0 such that (a – d) is the least angle.
We know, By triangle sum property
(a – d) + a + (a + d) = 180
⇒ 3a = 180
⇒ a = 60°
Also given, the number of degrees in the least angle is to the number of degrees in the mean angle is 1:120
Least angle = (a – d)
![]()
![]()
![]()
⇒ 60 – d = 0.5
⇒ d = 59.5
Hence, angles are
(a – d) = 60 – 59.5 = 0.5°
a = 60°
(a + d) = 60 + 59.5 = 119.5°
Now, If θ is the angle in degree than the angle in radians is equal to
![]()
Hence, angles in radians are
Angle 1: ![]()
Angle 2: ![]()
Angle 3: ![]()
