The angles of triangle are (x + 10)
o, (2x - 40)
o and (3x - 90)
o. Which of the following accurately describes the triangle?
-
A.
it is a scalene triangle
-
B.
it is right angled isosceles triangle
-
C.
t is an equilateral triangle
-
D.
It is an isosceles triangle but not right angled
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
(x + 10)o + (2x - 40)o + (3x - 90)o = 180
6x - 120 = 180
6x = 180 + 120
6x = 300
x = \(\frac{300}{6}\)
x = 50
x + 10o = 50o + 10o = 60o
2x - 40 = 2(50o) - 40 = 60o
3x - 90 = 3(50o) - 90o = 60o
Hence, it is an equilateral triangle
