Question

In the given fig, lines XY and MN intersect at 0. If < POY = 90° &a: b = 4:6, find c.​

Answer 1

Ans : We are given

∠POY =90° and a: b =2: 3

∠POX = 180° – 90° = 90°(Linear pair)

Let a = 2x and b = 3x

∠POX = a + b = 90

2x + 3x = 90

5x = 90°

x = 18°

Therefore a = 2×18 = 36° and b = 3× 18 = 54°

Since MON is a line therefore b and c are linear pair

∴b + c =180°

54° + c = 180°

c = 180° – 54° = 126°

Hence the value of c is 126°
