Question

If a transversal intersects two parallel like such that the ratio between the interior angles on one of its side is 2:7,then find the measure of the greater angle

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the angles be 3x and 7x.

We know that sum of two interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180

∘

.

3x+7x+=180

∘

⇒10x=180

∘

⇒x=18

∘

Therefore, the greater angle is 7x=7×18=126

∘

So Ans is 126 °
