Since XOY is a straight line, we have:
∠XOP + ∠YOP = 180°
We know from the figure that ∠XOP = (x + 15)° and ∠YOP = (3x + 25)°
Substituting the value of ∠XOP and ∠YOP in above, we get:
⇒ (x + 15)° + (3x + 25)° = 180°
⇒ 4x° + 40° = 180°
⇒ 4x° = 180° - 40°
⇒ 4x° = 140°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 35°
Now, let's find the measure of each angle by substituting the value of x:
(i) ∠XOP
∠XOP = (x + 15)°
= (35 + 15)°
= 50°
Thus, the measure of ∠XOP is 50°.
(ii) ∠YOP
∠YOP = (3x + 25)°
= (3(35) + 25)°
= (105 + 25)°
= 130°
Thus, the measure of ∠YOP is 130°.
