The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find all the three angles.
Let the any one of the angle of triangle be x then other two angle are x+10, x+20 According to Question, x + (x+10) + (x+20)=180 3x + 30 = 180 3x = 150 x = 50 Thus, angles would be 50, 60, and 70.
