Q. Find the missing angles
  1. Set Up Equation: Since the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180180^\circ, we can set up an equation with the given angle and the ratio of the other two angles.\newlineLet's call the smaller angle 2x2x and the larger angle 5x5x.\newlineSo, we have 110+2x+5x=180110^\circ + 2x + 5x = 180^\circ.
  2. Combine Like Terms: Now, let's combine like terms (2x+5x)(2x + 5x) to simplify the equation.110°+7x=180°110° + 7x = 180°.
  3. Subtract and Solve: Next, we'll subtract 110°110° from both sides to solve for 7x7x.\newline7x=180°110°7x = 180° - 110°.\newline7x=70°7x = 70°.
  4. Find Value of x: Now, we divide both sides by 77 to find the value of x.\newlinex=70°7x = \frac{70°}{7}.\newlinex=10°x = 10°.
  5. Find Missing Angles: We can now find the measures of the two missing angles by multiplying xx by 22 and by 55. The smaller angle is 2x2x, which is 2×10°=20°2 \times 10° = 20°. The larger angle is 5x5x, which is 5×10°=50°5 \times 10° = 50°.
