The measures of two angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the sum of these two measures is equal to the measure of the third angle, find the smallest angle.
Solution: Two angles of triangle= 4x and 5x (let)According to the question.2(4x+ 5x) = 180∘⇒ 18x= 180∘⇒ x = 180∘/18 = 10∘:. The smallest angle= 4x = 4*10 = 40∘Then the answer is 40∘.
