Question

In the given figure, a is greater than b by one third of a right-angle. Find the values of a and b.

Answer 1

It is given that in the figure given below; a is greater than b by one-third of a right angle.

Or we can say that, the difference between a and b is.

That is;

Also a and b form a linear pair. Therefore, their sum must be equal to.

We can say that:

On adding (i) and (ii), we get:

On putting, in (i):

Hence, the values are and.
