If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2:3, then the measure of the larger angle is


Let,

l and m be two parallel lines and transversal p cuts them


1: 2 = 2: 3 (Interior angles on same side)


Let,


1 = 2k


2 = 3k


1 + 2 = 180o (Interior angle)


2k + 3k = 180o


k = 36o


So, 1 = 2k = 72o


2 = 3k = 108o


Hence, larger angle is 108o
