Semi-perimeter = s
12. Let the measure of the smaller angle be x and that of the larger angle be y.
The larger angle is 3° less than twice the measure of the smaller angle.
y = 2x − 3° ….(1)
Now, x + y =180° (Two angles are complementary)
⇒ x + (2x − 3°) = 180°
⇒ 3x = 183°
⇒ x = 61°
Substitute value of x in equation (1)
y = 2(61) − 3°
⇒ y = 119°
So, the measures of the two angles are 61° and 119°.
Section C
15. In ΔXYZ,
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
72° + ∠Y + 46° = 180°
∠Y = 62°

∠OYZ = ∠Y [since OY is bisector of ∠Y]

1
∠OYZ = 62o = 31o

∠OZY = ∠Z [since OZ is bisector of ∠Z]

In ΔOYZ
∠OYZ + ∠YOZ + ∠OZY = 180o [Angle sum property]
31o + ∠YOZ + 23o = 180o
∠YOZ = 126o

C.S.A. of conical tomb = rl 7 25 m2 550 m2

Cost of white-washing 100 m2 = Rs. 210
210 550
Cost of white-washing 550 m2 = Rs. = Rs. 1155

Thus, the cost of white washing the conical tomb is Rs. 1155.
