Question

In the given figure, values of x and y, are 1. 40°, 25° 2. 30°, 40° 3. 30°, 20° 4. 40°, 35°

Answer 1

1. 40°, 25°

Explanation:

The sum of opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180°.

2x + 4 + 4y - 4 = 180

x+ 10 + 5y + 5 = 180

2x + 4y = 180

x +5y + 15 = 180

x + 2y = 90

x + 5y = 165

x = 90 - 2y

x = 165 - 5y

90 - 2y = 165 - 5y

5y - 2y = 165 - 90

3y = 75

y = 25

x = 90- 2y = 90 - 2*25 = 40

x= 40, y = 25
