Lines And Angles

Question
CBSEENMA9002375

In the given figure, lines XY and MN intersect each other at O. If ∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3, then find c.

Solution

∵ XOY is a line
∴ b + a + 90° = 180°

rightwards double arrow   a + b = 900
       2 + 3 = 5
therefore space space space space space space angle straight a equals 2 over 5 cross times 90 degree equals 36 degree
space space space space space space space space angle straight b space equals space 3 over 5 cross times 90 degree equals 54 degree
because space space space space MON space is space straight a space line
therefore space space space angle straight b plus angle straight c equals 180 degree
rightwards double arrow space space space 54 degree plus angle straight c equals 180 degree space rightwards double arrow space angle straight c equals 126 degree
