In the beginning, they have 50 and 180 cows respectively.

<h3>How to find the total number of cows?</h3>

The two farmers bought  a total of 230 cows .

A year later the first farmer had 10% more cows than in the beginning.

Therefore,

let

x = number of cow he has initially.

A year later the percentage increase = 0.1x

whereas the second had 20% increase. Therefore,

let

y = number of cow he has initially.

A year later percentage increase = 0.2y

Hence,

x + y = 230

1.1x + 1.2y = 263

1.1x + 1.1y = 253

1.1x + 1.2y = 263

0.2y = 10

y = 10 / 0.2

y = 50

x = 230 - 50

x = 180

The steps to draw all the three angles have been explained.

<h3>What is an Angle ?</h3>

An angle is made by two rays that have one common end point known as vertex.

To make an angle congruent to the one given , the angle has to be copied

For making both ∠XYZ and∠ UVW , following steps will be followed.

  • Draw two rays separately and name it YZ and VW .
  • Take a compass and draw a free hand arc from the point B and E and with the same measure draw a free hand arc from the point Y and V respectively.
  • Take the compass to the angle ABC and DEF again , from the point where the arc intersects BC and EF , cut an arc on the ray AB and DE .
  • With the same measure , keep the compass on the point the free hand arc intersected on the ray YZ and VW , cut the arc by the new arc .
  • The point where both the arc intersects will be joined form the end points , Y and V , to form an angle.
  • The angle formed will be copy of ∠ABC and∠ DEF

Now to draw RST = ABC  + DEF

  • Draw the angle ABC and repeat the steps to draw DEF taking , AB ray as the base of the angle.

       The angle obtained will be RST.
