If the given ratio is to be the ratio of the angles:
Explanation:
Case 1: ratio is ratio of lengths of sides
The length of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Case 2: ratio is ratio of angles
If the smallest angle is
then the ratio
Since the sum of interior angles of a triangle is
and the angles are
