Question
If two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (5x−5)∘ and (10x+35)∘, then the ratio of these angles is ___________.
a) 1 : 3
b) 2 : 3
c) 1 : 4
d) 1 : 2
If two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are (5x−5)∘ and (10x+35)∘, then the ratio of these angles is ___________.
a) 1 : 3
b) 2 : 3
c) 1 : 4
d) 1 : 2
Answer:
:
We know that the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, i.e. their sum is equal to 180∘,
∴(5x−5)+(10x+35)=180∘⇒15x+30∘=180∘⇒15x=150∘⇒x=10∘
Thus, the angles are (5×10−5)=45∘ and (10×10+35)=135∘.
Hence, the required ratio is 45∘:135∘, that is, 1 : 3.
