1. Find x if 6x and 3x are (a) Complementary angles (b) supplementary angles

Answer»

Answer:

a) 10°

b) 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the provided information in the given question, we have :

  • 6x and 3x are complimentary angles. (Case 1)
  • 6x and 3x are supplementary angles. (Case 2)

We are asked to calculate the value of x in both cases.

\underline{ \bf{ \maltese \; \; \; Case \: 1 \:   : \; \; \;  }}

If the sum of TWO angles is 90°, then they are CALLED complimentary angles to each other. Here, 6x and 3x are two angles are complimentary angles, so their sum will be 90°.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { 6x + 3x = 90^\circ}} \\

Performing addition of the TERMS in LHS.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { 9x = 90^\circ}} \\

Transposing 9 from LHS to RHS, its arithmetic operator will get changed.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { x = \cancel{\dfrac{90^\circ}{9}} }} \\

Dividing 90° by 9.

\longrightarrow \quad\underline{\boxed { \textbf{\textsf{ x = 10}}^\circ}} \\

The value of x if 6x and 3x are complimentary angles is 10°.

\underline{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad} \\

\underline{ \bf{ \maltese \; \; \; Case \: 2 \:   : \; \; \;  }}

If the sum of two angles is 180°, then they are called supplementary angles to each other. Here, 6x and 3x are two angles are supplementary angles, so their sum will be 180°.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { 6x + 3x = 180^\circ}} \\

Performing addition of the terms in LHS.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { 9x = 180^\circ}} \\

Transposing 9 from LHS to RHS, its arithmetic operator will get changed.

\longrightarrow \sf{\quad { x = \cancel{\dfrac{180^\circ}{9}} }} \\

Dividing 180° by 9.

\longrightarrow \quad\underline{\boxed { \textbf{\textsf{ x = 20}}^\circ}} \\

The value of x if 6x and 3x are supplementary angles is 20°.
