Question

If the angles forming a linear pair are in the ratio 2:3 , then the measure of the acute

angle is ______ and the measure of the obtuse angle is ___.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the ratio constant be x

2x+3x = 180°

5x=180°

X= 180°/5

x= 36°

Then,

2x= 36°×2=72°{Acute angle}

3x=36°×3= 98°{Obtuse Angle}
