Question

In figure 4, POR and QOR form a
linear
pair If x: y = 2:3, find the value
of x and y​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is 2a and y is 3a ,

We know that the sum of linear paire angles is 180°

So, sum of x and y will be equal to 180°

⏩ x + y = 180°

⏩ 2a + 3a = 180°

⏩5a = 180°

⏩ a = 36°

Hence,

x = 2a = 2( 36 ) = 72°

y = 3a = 3( 36 ) = 108°
