Question

if ratio of the angles forming linear pair is 3: 6 then Larger of the two angle is

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Let the 2 supplementary angles be

x

and

y

.

Since they are supplementary,

x

+

y

=

180

∘

...........(1).

Since the ratio of

x

to

y

is

3

:

6

=

1

:

2

,

y

=

2

x

......(2).

Now solve for equations (1) and (2) simultaneously :

Substituting (2) into (1) yields :

x

+

2

x

=

180

∴

x

=

180

3

=

60

∘

.

∴

y

=

2

(

60

)

=

120

∘

.
