If two supplementary angles differ by 74°, then one of the angles is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Let us consider that two supplementary angles are ∠A & ∠B.
Two angles are supplementary angle iff
∠A + ∠B = 180º ----(1)
& two supplementary angles differ by 74°
∠A - ∠B = 74º ---(2)
On adding equation 1 and 2 both ,
2∠A = 254º
∠A = 127º
by putting value of ∠A in equation 1 ,
127º + ∠B = 180º
∠B = 53º
So, two angles are 127º and 53º.
Answer :- Option D :- 53º
