Question
Given ∠POR = 3x and ∠QOR = 2x + 10°. If POQ is a straight line, then the value of x is
Options
30°
34°
36°
none of these
Solution
Let us draw the following figure, showing POQ as a straight line.
Thus, ∠POR and ∠QORform a linear pair, therefore their sum must be supplementary. That is;
∠POR + ∠QOR = 180°
It is given that
∠POR = 3x
and ∠QOR = 2x + 10°
On substituting these two values above, we get:
3x +2x + 10° = 180°
5x +10° = 180°
5x = 180° -10°
5x = 170°
`x = (170°)/5`
x = 34°
