Question

the measure of one of the angles forming linear pair is 50°less than the measure of the other angle. find their measures​

Answer 1

Answer:

My dear question will be 50 more than other angle.

Here is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle be x

and other be y

A.T.Q :

x + y = 180     [ linear pair ]----i

x = 50+y -----ii

Put ii in i , we get

50 + y +y = 180

2y = 180 - 50

y = 130/2

y = 65

put y in ii

x = 115

Answer 2

Concept

The sum of measures of angles forming a linear  pair is always 180.

Given

the measure of one of the angles forming a linear pair is 50° less than the other.

Find

we need to find the measure of both the angles.

Solution

Let the measure of one of the angles be x

Then the measure of the second angle will be = x - 50

Now, the sum of measures of angles forming a linear pair is always 180, thus

x + x - 50 = 180

2x + 50 = 180

2x = 230

x = 115

and hence, x - 50 = 65

Thus, the measures of the two angles are 115° and 65°.
