Question -

In the given figure, if AB|| CD, CD || EF and y: z = 3: 7, find x.



Answer -

It is given that AB || CDand CD || EF

AB || CD || EF (Lines parallel to the sameline are parallel to each other)

It can beobserved that

x = z (Alternateinterior angles) … (1)

It isgiven that yz = 3: 7

Let thecommon ratio between y and z be a.

 y =3a and z =7a

Also, x + y =180º (Co-interior angles on the same side of the transversal)

y = 180º [Usingequation (1)]

7a + 3a =180º

10a = 180º

a = 18º

 x =7a = 7 × 18º = 126º
