Math Problem Statement

In the figure, AB || CD, ∠FGD = 5x and ∠EFB = (120° − x). Find the values of ∠EFB and ∠FGD.

Solution

The problem provided in the image is in Gujarati and involves parallel lines and angles. Here’s a breakdown of the problem:

  1. AB || CD - Line AB is parallel to line CD.
  2. ∠FGD = 5x and ∠EFB = (120° − x).
  3. We are asked to find the measure of ∠EFB and ∠FGD.

Solution:

Given:

  • ∠FGD = 5x
  • ∠EFB = (120° - x)

Since AB is parallel to CD, and the angles involve corresponding or co-interior angles, we can use this information to set up an equation between these angles.

Step 1: Establishing a relationship between the angles

The co-interior angles in this configuration should sum to 180°. So, the sum of ∠FGD and ∠EFB should equal 180°.

∠FGD+∠EFB=180°\text{∠FGD} + \text{∠EFB} = 180°

Substitute the expressions for ∠FGD and ∠EFB:

5x+(120°x)=180°5x + (120° - x) = 180°

Step 2: Simplifying the equation

5xx+120°=180°5x - x + 120° = 180° 4x+120°=180°4x + 120° = 180°

Step 3: Solving for x

4x=180°120°4x = 180° - 120° 4x=60°4x = 60° x=15°x = 15°

Step 4: Finding the values of the angles

Now that we have x=15°x = 15°, we can substitute it back into the expressions for ∠FGD and ∠EFB.

  • ∠FGD = 5x = 5×15°=75°5 \times 15° = 75°
  • ∠EFB = 120° - x = 120°15°=105°120° - 15° = 105°

Thus, the measures of the angles are:

  • ∠FGD = 75°
  • ∠EFB = 105°
