Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio . Find each angle in radians and in degrees.
One radian is the angle at the centre of a circle when the arc is as long as the radius, so . A full turn is rad, and rad . Degrees into radians: multiply by . Radians into degrees: multiply by .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The parts. parts share rad, so one part is rad, that is .
Step 2. The angles. , and rad.
Step 3. In degrees. , and .
Check. .
Answer: , and rad, that is , and .
