Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 2 : 3.

Question: Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 2 : 3. Find the measure of each of its angles. Solution: Let the two adjacent angles of the parallelogram be $(2 x)^{\circ}$ and $(3 x)^{\circ}$. Sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is $180^{\circ}$. $\therefore 2 x+3 x=180$ $\Rightarrow 5 x=180$ $\Rightarrow x=36$ $(2 x)^{\circ}=(2 \times 36)^{\circ}=72^{\circ}$ $(3 x)^{\circ}=(3 \times 36)^{\circ}=108^{\circ}$ Measures of the angles are $72^{\circ}$ and $108^{\circ...

Use the distributivity of multiplication of rational numbers

Question: Use the distributivity of multiplication of rational numbers over addition to simplify. Solution: (a) (3/5) [(35/24) + (10/1)] We know that the distributivity of multiplication of rational numbers over addition, a (b + c) = a b + a c Where, a =3/5, b =35/24, c = 10/1 Then, (3/5) [(35/24) + (10/1)] = ((3/5) (35/24)) + ((3/5) (10/1)) = ((1/1) (7/8)) + ((3/1) (2/1)) = (7/8) + (6/1) = (7 + 48)/8 = 55/8 = (b) (-5/4) [(8/5) + (16/15)] Solution:- We know that the distributivity of multiplicat...
