Question

In the figure a is greater than b by 1/6th of the straight line find a and b​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: a + b =180° [Linear pair]... (1)

 Also, given

that

a – b = 1/6 × 180°

⇒a – b = 30°... (2)

On adding equations (1) and (2), we get

⇒2 a=210°

⇒a =105°

And

b = 180°−105°

⇒b=75°

∴a = 105° and b = 75°
