If ABCD is a rectangle then find value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.
Answers
Answer:
∠ABC = 90
∠DBC = 90 / 2
= 45
x = 45
y = ?
= ∠D + ∠C - 180 ( 180 because the angle sum propery of triangle )
= 45 + 45 - 180
= 90 - 180
= 90
Y = 90
X= 45; Y = 90
☆ To find :
The values of x and y in the rectangle given.
☆ Solution :
Here ,we can observe that the Diagonals are equal because they bisect each other at O.
Hence,
AC = BD , AO = OB
∴ We can say that ∆AOB is an isosceles triangle.
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 35°
Thus,
• Value of x :
→ x° + ∠OBA = 90°
→ x° + 35° = 90°
→ x° = 90° - 35°
→ x° = 55°
Therefore,
- The value of x° is 55°.
Now, finding the value of y.
In ∆ AOB
• ∠OAB = 35°
• ∠AOB = ?
• ∠ABO = 35°
Thus,
↦ ∠OAB + ∠AOB + ∠OBA = 180° [Angle sum property of ∆]
↦ 35° + ∠AOB + 35° = 180°
↦ 70° + ∠AOB = 180°
↦ ∠AOB = 180° - 70°
↦ ∠AOB = 110°
Therefore,
If ∠AOB = 110° then ∠DOC = 110°
[Because vertically opposite angles are equal].
Thus,
- The value of y(∠DOC) is 110°.
