Question

5. In Figure 24, ZPOR and ZQOR form a linear pair. If x.y = 2:3,
find the values of x and y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is:

x = 72 degrees and y = 108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, x and y form a linear pair

           x and y are in the ratio 2:3

So, we take x as 2a and y as 3a.

i.e.

=> x + y = 180

=> 2a + 3a = 180

=> 5a = 180

=> a = 180/5

=> a = 36 degrees

So x = 2a = 2 (36) = 72 degrees

    y = 3a = 3 (36) = 108 degrees

Therefore, X = 72 degrees and Y= 108 degrees
