the measure of two angles that are a linear pair are 3x and 2x find the angles
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of the angles in the linear pair is 3x and 2x ..
According to the linear pair angles
3x + 2x = 180°
5x = 180°
Therefore, x= 180/5
x = 36°
Therefore the angles are
3x = 3 X 36 = 108°
2x = 2 X 36 = 72°
Therefore the two angles are 108 degree and 72 degree
Hope it helps you...
The angles are 108° and 72°.
Given :
Measures of the two angles = 3x and 2x
The angles are Linear Pairs
To Find :
The measure of the angles
Solution :
Linear Pair of angles are the adjacent angles and are Supplementary angles. The sum of their angles is 180°.
Angles are -
- 3x
- 2x
★
3x + 2x = 180°
5x = 180
x = 180/5
x = 36
★ Value of 3x
3 × 36
108°
★ Value of 2x
2 × 36
72°
The angles are 108° and 72°.
Add both the Measures of the angles and check if they add up and make 180°.
108° + 72°
180°
The angles are 108° and 72°.
