In Fig, PA || BC || DT and AB || DC. Then, the values of a and b are respectively(a) 60°, 120° (b) 50°,130° (c) 70°,110° (d) 80°,100°

Answer»

(b) 50o,130o

We know that, ∠PAB = ∠ABC = 50o … [because interior alternate angles]

Given, AB || DC so consider it as parallelogram,

In parallelogram adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

So, ∠ABC + ∠BCD = 180o

50o + ∠BCD = 180o

∠BCD = 180o – 50o

∠BCD = 130o

∠BCD = ∠CDT = 130o  … [because interior alternate angles]

Therefore, a = 50o and b = 130o

27153.

In the figures AB // CD. Find the values of x in each case.

Answer»

Draw a line ‘l’ parallel to AB and CD through F.

a + 104° = 180° ⇒ a = 180° – 104° = 76°

 b+ 116° = 180° ⇒ -b = 180°- 116° = 64° 

[∵ interior angles on the same side] 

∴ a + b = x = 76° + 64° = 140°

Find the angle whose supplement is four times its complement.

Answer»

Consider the required angle as x°

We know that the complement can be written as 90° – x° and the supplement can be written as 180° – x°

180° – x° = 4(90° – x°)

We can also write it as

180° – x° = 360° – 4x°

So we get

4x° – x° = 360° – 180°

3x° = 180°

By division we get

x° = 180/3

x° = 60°

Therefore, the angle whose supplement is four times its complement is 60°.

27155.

Find the measure of an angle which is(i) Equal to its complement(ii) Equal to its supplement

Answer»

(i) Consider the required angle as x°

We know that the complement can be written as 90° – x°

To find that the measure of an angle is equal to its complement

We get

x° = 90° – x°

We can also write it as

x + x = 90

So we get

2x = 90

By division we get

x = 90/2

x° = 45°

Therefore, the measure of an angle which is equal to its complement is 45°

(ii) Consider the required angle as x°

We know that the supplement can be written as 180° – x°

To find that the measure of an angle is equal to its complement

We get

x° = 180° – x°

We can also write it as

x + x = 180

So we get

2x = 180

By division we get

x = 180/2

x° = 90°

Therefore, the measure of an angle which is equal to its complement is 90°

In Fig., OP, OQ, OR and OS are four rays, prove that:∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR + ∠POS = 360°

Answer»

Given that,

OP, OQ, OR and OS are four rays

You need to produce any of the rays OP, OQ, OR and OS backwards to a point T so that TOQ is a line.

Ray OP stands on line

TOQ ∠TOP + ∠POQ = 180°(Linear pair) (i)

Similarly,

∠TOS + ∠SOQ =180°(ii)

∠TOS + ∠SOR + ∠OQR = 180°(iii)

Adding (i) and (iii), we get

∠TOP + ∠POQ + ∠TOS + ∠SOR + ∠QOR = 360°

∠TOP + ∠TOS = ∠POS

Therefore,

∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR +∠POS = 360°.

∠2 = 60o

From the figure we know that ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles

So we get

∠1 = ∠3 = 120o

From the figure we know that ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically opposite angles

So we get

∠2 = ∠4 = 60o

It is given that, l || m and t is a transversal

So the corresponding angles according to the figure is written as

∠1 = ∠5 = 120o

∠2 = ∠6 = 60o

∠3 = ∠7 = 120o

∠4 = ∠8 = 60o

If Fig. if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.

Answer»

Data: In this fiure, ∠BOC = x° 

∠AOC = y° ∠BOD = w° 

∠AOD = z° and x + y = w + z. 

To Prove: AOB is a straight line. 

Proof: x + y + w + z = 360° 

(∵ one completre angle) 

But, x + y = w + z. 

∴ x + y = w + z= \(\frac{360}{2}\) = 180° 

∴ x + y = 180° 

∴ w + z = 180° proved. 

But, ∠AOC and ∠BOC are adjacent angles, 

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180° 

x = y = 180° 

∴ ZAOB = 180°. 

∴ AOB is a straight line.

In Fig, AB, CD and ∠1 and ∠2 are in the ratio 3 : 2. Determine all angles from 1 to 8.

Answer»

Let, ∠1 = 3x

∠2 = 2x

∠1 + ∠2 = 180°(Linear pair)

3x + 2x = 180°

5x = 180°

x = 36°

Therefore,

∠1 = 3x = 108°

∠2 = 2x = 72°

Vertically opposite angles are equal, so:

∠1 = ∠3 = 108°

∠2 = ∠4 = 72°

∠5 = ∠7 = 108°

∠6 = ∠8 = 72°

Corresponding angles:

In Fig, AB ∥ CD and ∠1 and ∠2 are in the ratio of 3: 2. Determine all angles from 1 to 8.

Answer»

Given ∠1 and ∠2 are in the ratio 3: 2

Let us take the angles as 3x, 2x

∠1 and ∠2 are linear pair [from the figure]

3x + 2x = 180°

5x = 180°

x = 180°/5

x = 36°

Therefore, ∠1 = 3x = 3(36) = 108°

∠2 = 2x = 2(36) = 72°

∠1 and ∠5 are corresponding angles

Therefore ∠1 = ∠5

Hence, ∠5 = 108°

∠2 and ∠6 are corresponding angles

So ∠2 = ∠6

Therefore, ∠6 = 72°

∠4 and ∠6 are alternate pair of angles

∠4 = ∠6 = 72°

Therefore, ∠4 = 72°

∠3 and ∠5 are alternate pair of angles

∠3 = ∠5 = 108°

Therefore, ∠5 = 108°

∠2 and ∠8 are alternate exterior of angles

∠2 = ∠8 = 72°

Therefore, ∠8 = 72°

∠1 and ∠7 are alternate exterior of angles

∠1 = ∠7 = 108°

Therefore, ∠7 = 108°

Hence, ∠1 = 108°, ∠2 = 72°, ∠3 = 108°, ∠4 = 72°, ∠5 = 108°, ∠6 = 72°, ∠7 = 108°, ∠8 = 72°

In the given figure sides QP and RQ of ∠PQR are produced to points S and T respectively. If ∠SPR = 135° and ∠PQT = 110°, find ∠PRQ.

Answer»

Given that ∠SPR = 135° and ∠PQT =110°

From the figure 

∠SPR + ∠RPQ = 180° 

∠PQT + ∠PQR = 180° 

[∵ linear pair of angles] 

⇒ ∠RPQ = 180° – ∠SPR = 180° – 135° = 45° 

⇒ ∠PQR = 180° – ∠PQT = 180°-110° = 70° 

Now in APQR 

∠RPQ + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180° 

[∵ angle sum property]

In Fig., PQ||ST. Then, the value of x + y is (a) 125° (b) 135° (c) 145° (d) 120°

Answer»

(b) 135°

From the figure, PQ is a straight line

We know that, sum of angle on the straight is equal to 180°.

Then,

y + ∠ PQR = 180° 

y + 130 = 180°

y = 50°

Then,

∠ QOS = ∠ TSO [Co-interior angle]

x = 85°

x + y = 135°

In Fig., lines PQ and ST intersect at O. If ∠POR = 90° and x : y = 3 : 2, then z is equal to (a) 126° (b) 144° (c) 136° (d) 154°

Answer»

(b) 144o

Sum of all angle about a straight line given in the figure are equal to 180o.

PQ is a straight line.

Then, ∠POR + ∠ROT + ∠TOQ = 180o

Given, x : y = 3 : 2

Let us assume x = 3a, y = 2a

90o + 3a + 2a = 180o

90o + 5a = 180o

5a = 180o – 90o

5a = 90o

a = 90/5

a = 18o

So, x = 3a = 3 × 18 = 54o

Y = 2a = 2 × 18 = 36o

From the figure SOT is a straight line,

Then, Z + Y = 180o

Z + 36o = 180o

Z = 180o – 36o

Z = 144o

In Fig., three coplanar lines intersect at a point O, forming angles as shown in the figure, Find the values of x, y, z and u.

Answer»

Since,

Vertically opposite angles are equal

So,

∠BOD = z = 90°

∠DOF = y = 50°

Now,

x + y + z = 180°(Linear pair)

x + 90° + 50° = 180°

x = 40°

In Fig, lines l1 and l2 intersect at O, forming angles as shown in the figure. If x = 45, find the values of y, z and u.

Answer»

Given that,

x = 45°

y =?

z =?

u =?

z = x = 45°(Vertically opposite angle)

z + u = 180°(Linear pair)

45° = 180° – u

u = 135°

x + y = 180°(Linear pair)

45° = 180° – y

y = 135°

Therefore,

x = 45°, y = 135°, u = 135° and z = 45°
