1. Problem Description

We are given a circle and three points A,B,CA, B, C on the circle which divide the circle into three arcs whose lengths are in the ratio 1:3:51:3:5. We need to calculate the interior angles of triangle ABCABC.

2. Solution Steps

Let the lengths of the arcs ABAB, BCBC, and CACA be x,3x,5xx, 3x, 5x respectively. The sum of the lengths of the arcs is the circumference of the circle, which corresponds to 360360^\circ.
Thus, x+3x+5x=360x + 3x + 5x = 360^\circ.
9x=3609x = 360^\circ
x=40x = 40^\circ
So the arc lengths are:
Arc AB=x=40AB = x = 40^\circ
Arc BC=3x=3(40)=120BC = 3x = 3(40^\circ) = 120^\circ
Arc CA=5x=5(40)=200CA = 5x = 5(40^\circ) = 200^\circ
Now, we use the property that the inscribed angle is half of the central angle subtended by the same arc. Also, the inscribed angle is half of the measure of the intercepted arc.
C=12arc AB=12(40)=20\angle C = \frac{1}{2} \text{arc } AB = \frac{1}{2} (40^\circ) = 20^\circ
A=12arc BC=12(120)=60\angle A = \frac{1}{2} \text{arc } BC = \frac{1}{2} (120^\circ) = 60^\circ
B=12arc CA=12(200)=100\angle B = \frac{1}{2} \text{arc } CA = \frac{1}{2} (200^\circ) = 100^\circ

3. Final Answer

The angles of triangle ABCABC are 20,60,10020^\circ, 60^\circ, 100^\circ.
