Find the values of x y z in the following figure |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: As per the figure, ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠1 = x ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠2 = x/2 ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠3 = z ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠4 = y We are asked to calculate the value of x,y,z. Clearly, ∠1 and ∠3 ; ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically opposite angles. Since, the vertically opposite angles equal, so ∠1 and ∠3 ; ∠2 and ∠4 will be equal. Thus, we can say that : ➝ ∠1 = ∠3 ⇒ x ➝ ∠2 = ∠4 ⇒ x/2
The sum of all these angles will be 360° as they are forming a complete angle. WRITING it in the FORM of a linear EQUATION, Substitute the measure angles. Now, substitute the expression of y and z which have been found using the property of vertically opposite angles. Taking the LCM and solving further. Performing addition in the numerator of the FRACTION in the LHS. Transposing 2 from L.H.S. to R.H.S. Performing multiplication in RHS. Transposing 6 from L.H.S. to R.H.S. Dividing 720 by 6. Now, we have to FIND the value of other three angles. Value of ∠2 : x/2 = 120°/2 = 60° Value of ∠3 : Same as the value of x, since the vertically opposite angles are equal. Value of ∠4 : Same as the value of x/2, since the vertically opposite angles are equal. Therefore, ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠1 = 120° ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠2 = 60° ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠3 = 120° ⠀⠀⠀★ ∠4 = 60° |
