if the ratio of the angles of the triangle is 1:2:3 then what is the ratio of the the sides of the triangle??


The angles of the triangle are x°, 2x°, and 3x°.  
These must have sum 180°, therefore:

   x + 2x + 3x = 180
            6x = 180
             x = 30°

The angles are x° = 30°, 2x° = 60° and 3x° = 90°, 
so the triangle has sides

1, Ö3, and 2.
