Question

In the given figure if x : y = 2 : 3, find the value of x and y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio be l

so 2l+3l=5l

5l= 180°

l= 180°/5

l= 36°

2×l= 2×36=72

3×l=3×36=108°

x= 72°

y=108°

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope you like both the methods I have more method if you want I can tell

Step-by-step explanation:

let be x be 2m and y be 3m

x+y=180(linear pair property)

2m+3m=180

5m=180

m=36

x=72

y=108

Alternate method

x:y=2:3

x=2/5×180 (base =x+y)

x=72

y=3/5×180

y=108
