Question

Given that AOB, COD, and EOF are straight lines, Find the value of 'a' of the following figures. C F 2aº За°— 10° А. B O 4a°-17° E D​

Answer 1

2a + 4a-17 + 3a - 10 = 180

9a - 27 = 180

+27

9a. =207

÷9

a= 23

Check:

2x23=46

4x23 - 17 =75

3 x 23 - 10 =59

Angle on straight lines adds to 180 (46+75+59=180)

Hope this helps!
