Question

its given that angle x and angle y form a linear pair. if angle y = (angle x + 60) then find the angles

Answer 1

its given that angle x and angle y form a linear pair

so angle X+ angle Y=180°

angle Y= angle X+60°

angle Y+ angle X=180°

angle X+60°+angle X=180°

2X+60°=180°

2X=180°-60°

2X=120

X=120/2

X=60°

so angle X=60°

and angle Y=angle X+60°

60°+60°

120°

so angle Y is 120°
