Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
2 triangles each have an angle measuring 15 degrees
2nd triangle also has an angle measuring 20 degrees
2nd triangle's angles are 15, 20, and 180-15-20= 145 degrees
2nd's angles are 15,20,145, an obtuse triangle
1st triangle has angles 15, B, C
where B =180-15-C
and C = 180-15-B
you can find the ratio of the sides of the 2nd triangle,
longest side is opposite largest angle, smallest side opposite smallest angle
if side opposite 15 is 1, then side opposite 20 is 1.321 and side opposite 145 is 2.216
that's the ratio of sides: 1:1.321:2.216
but you have no clue the actual side lengths without more information, but they are
some multiple of 1:1.321:2.216
1st triangle's other 2 angles and sides are a near total mystery
other 2 angles of the 1st triangle sum to 165 degrees
that's about all further you know about triangle number 1
