Question

The angles that form a linear pair are in the ratio 2:7. Find the measure of each angle. ​

Answer 1

HEY BRAINLY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.

A) let the ratio be 2x, 7x

we know that sum of angles that form linear angles is 180

therefore 2x + 7x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180 / 9 = 20

Measure of each angle is 2x = 2× 20 = 40

other angle = 7x = 7× 20 140.

Answer 2

$\huge{\mathfrak{SOLUTION:-}}$

Angles in a linear pair have a sum of 180°

________________________

Let the angles be 2x and 7x

Then, we get

2x + 7x = 180°

9x = 180°

x = $\frac{180}{9}$

x = 20°

___________________

Hence, the angles are

2x = 2×20 = 40°

7x = 7×20 = 140°

VERIFICATION:

40 + 140 = 180

180 = 180
