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° |
