Hi guys! =] Thanks for helping me with my other problems. I have another problem to solve. How do i solve this.
Question:
The ratio of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 2:3:5. Find the measures of the angles and classify the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse. Write an equation.

Please help.
 
Assume the angles are 2*x, 3*x and 5*x

Now you know the sum of the angles in a triangle.

From there solve for 'x'.

from there solve for '2*x', '3*x' & '5*x'.

Then decide the nature of those angles.
