Correct Answer: 20 cm
Solution : Given: The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. Let the angles be $x, 2x, 3x$. So, $x + 2x + 3x = 180°$ ⇒ $6x = 180°$ ∴ $x = 30°$ So, the angles are 30°, 60°, and 90°. Let $a, b,$ and $c$ units be the length of the sides opposite to the angles 30°, 60°, and 90° respectively. Now applying the sine rule, we get, $\frac{a}{\sin30°} = \frac{b}{\sin60°} = \frac{c}{\sin90°}$ ⇒ $2a = \frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}}=c$ $2a=c$ ⇒ $a=\frac{c}{2}$ Also, $\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}}=c$ ⇒ $b=\frac{\sqrt{3}c}{2}$ ∴ $a:b:c=\frac{c}{2}:\frac{\sqrt{3}c}{2}:c=1:\sqrt{3}:2$ Smallest side = 1 unit = 10 cm So, largest side = 2 units = 20 cm Hence, the correct answer is 20 cm.
