Question

In the adjoinning figure x:y:z=5:4:6 if XOY is a straight line, find the values of x,y and z.

Answer 1

let x =5x
y=4x
z=6x
then 5x+4x+6x=180 degree
because it is a straight line
15x=180
x=180/15= 12
x=12
x=5x=5 multiply by 12=60
y=4x=4 multiply by 12=48
z=6x=6 multiply by 12=72
hence x, y, z, have be found
