Question

Two angles that form a linear pair are in the ratio 2:3. Find their measures.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the angles be x

According to the question

2x+3x=180°(Linear pair)

5x=180°

x=180°/5

x=36°

2x=2(36°)=72°

3x=3(36°)=108°

Therefore their measures are 72° and 108°.

Answer 2

Answer:

72°,108°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles that form a linear pair are in the ratio 2:3.

let the two angles are: 2a,3a

sum of angles of linear pair= 180°

2a+3a=180°

5a=180°

a=180°/5

a=36°

2a=2×36°=72°

3a=3×36°=108°

required measures are 72°,108°
