The ratio of the angles in a triangle is 1:2:5.

Calculate the sizes of all three angles?  (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

\(22.5^{\circ}, 45^{\circ} \text{ and}\ 112.5^{\circ}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Total parts}=1+2+5=8\ \text{and the angle sum of a triangle}=180^{\circ}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{8}\times 180\) \(=22.5\)
\(\dfrac{2}{8}\times 180\) \(=45\)
\(\dfrac{5}{8}\times 180\) \(=112.5\)

    
\(\therefore\ \text{The angles in the triangle are }22.5^{\circ}, 45^{\circ} \text{ and}\ 112.5^{\circ}\)
