Answer to Problem 28E

It is not possible to have a triangle whose angle measures are in the ratio 3:4:5 and whose side lengths are in the same ratio.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Ratio of the angle measures in a triangle is given as 3:4:5

Calculation:

According to the sine rule, in a triangle with angles A, B, C and side lengths a, b and c

  aSinA=bSinB=cSinC

Above can be rearranged as

  a:b=SinA:SinB

And

  b:c=SinB:SinC

Hence ratio of the side lengths are proportionate to the Sine of angles opposite to the side and hence cannot be same ratio as the angles

For the given example: let us assume the angles are 3x, 4x and 5x.

  3x+4x+5x=180 ,

Now, add all the x together.

  12x=180

Now, divide both the sides with 12

  12x12=18012

This gives the value of x=15

First angle is 3x ,multiply 3 with 15

  3×15=45

Second angle is 4x, multiply 4 with 15

  4×15=60

Third angle is 5x, multiply 5 with 15

  5×15=75

So, the 3 angles are 45, 60 and 75

The side ratio is Sin(45):Sin(60):Sin(75) which is not same as 3:4:5

Conclusion- It is not possible to have a triangle whose angle measures are in the ratio 3:4:5 and whose side lengths are in the same ratio.
