x = 20
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

Answer:

∠DAE + ∠BAD + ∠BAF = 180∘             [EAF is a straight line]
⇒ 3x∘ + 49∘ + 62∘ = 180∘
⇒ 3x∘ + 111∘ = 180∘

⇒ 3x = 69
x = 23
Now, ∠CAE + ∠CAF = 180∘             [∵ EAF is a straight line]
z∘ + y∘ = 180∘
z + y= 180
Now, x + y + z = 23 + 180 = 203

In Fig. 97, if AB is parallel to CD, then the value of ∠BPE is
(a) 106°
(b) 76°
(c) 74°
(d) 84°

Answer:

Since, AB || CD
∴ ∠BPQ = ∠PQC           [Alternate interior angles]
⇒ (3x + 34)∘ = (5− 14)∘
⇒ 3x + 34 = 5− 14
⇒ 48 = 2x
x = 24
∴ ∠BPQ = (3 × 24 + 34)∘ = 106∘
∠BPQ + ∠BPE = 180∘             [EF is a straight line]
⇒ 106∘ + ∠BPE = 180∘

Since, AB || CD
∴ ∠AQP + ∠CPQ = 180∘         [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary]
⇒ (4x)∘ + (5x)∘ = 180∘
⇒ 9 = 180
x = 20

(b) 25
(c) 115
(d) 105

Answer:

∠BPE = ∠APQ = (5x − 10)∘        [Vertically opposite angles]
Since, AB || CD
∴ ∠APQ + ∠CQP = 180∘            [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary]
⇒ (5x − 10)∘ + (3x − 10)∘ = 180∘
⇒ 8x − 20  = 180
⇒ 8x = 200
x = 25
∴ ∠BPE = (5 × 25 − 10)∘ = 115∘
 Now, ∠BPE = ∠DQP = 115∘          [Corresponding angles]
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

In Fig. 101, AB || CD and EF is a transversal. The value of y − x is
(a) 30
(b) 35
(c) 95
(d) 25

Answer:

Since, AB || CD
∴ ∠BPQ = ∠DQF         [Corresponding angles]
⇒ (5x − 20)∘ = (3x + 40)∘
⇒ 5x − 20 = 3x + 40
⇒ 2x = 60
x = 30
∴ ∠BPQ = (5 × 30 − 20 )∘ = 130∘
Now, ∠APE  = ∠BPQ           [Vertically opposite angles]
⇒ 2y∘ = 130∘
y = 65
y − x = 65 30 = 35
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Answer:

Since, AB || EG
∴ ∠ABG + ∠EGB = 180∘         (Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary)
⇒ 110∘ + ∠EGB = 180∘
⇒ ∠EGB = 70∘
Again, CD || GF
∴ ∠DCG + ∠FGC = 180∘         (Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary)
⇒ 100∘ + ∠FGC = 180∘
⇒ ∠FGC = 80∘
Now, ∠EGB + ∠BGC +∠FGC = 180∘  
⇒ 70∘ + x∘ + 80∘ = 180∘
⇒ 150∘+ x∘ = 180∘
x∘ = 30∘

∴ ∠BAO + ∠AOE = 180∘         [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary]
⇒ 150∘ + ∠AOE = 180∘
⇒ ∠AOE = 30∘
Again, CD || OE
∴ ∠DCO + ∠COE = 180∘         [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary]
⇒ 120∘ + ∠COE = 180∘
⇒ ∠COE = 60∘

Answer:

Since
(i) 25°+65°=90° , therefore this is complementary pair of angle. (ii) 120°+ 60°= 180°, therefore this is supplementary pair of angle.(iii) 63°+27°= 90°, therefore this is complementary pair of angle.(iv) 100°+ 80°= 180° , therefore this is supplementary pair of angle.

One of the angles forming a linear pair is an acute angle. What kind of angle is the other?

Answer:

In a linear pair, if one angle is acute, then the other angle should be obtuse. Only then their sum can be 180°.



Page No 14.8:

Question 18:

Can two acute angles form a linear pair?

Answer:

No, two acute angles cannot form a linear pair because their sum is always less than 180°.

Question 19:

If the supplement of an angle is 65°; then find its complement.

Answer:

Let be the required angle.
Then, we have: 
x + 65° = 180°
x = 180° - 65° = 115°

The complement of angle cannot be determined.

Question 20:

Find the value of x in each of the following figures.

Answer:

(i)
Since BOA+BOC=180°         (Linear pair)
 x=180°-BOA=180°-60°=120°

(ii)
Since QOP+QOR=180°         Linear pair2x+3x=180°5x=180°x=180°5=36°

(iii)
Since LOP+PON+NOM=180°         Linear pairPON=180°-LOP-NOMx=180°-35°-60°x=180°-95°=85°

Question 21:

In Fig. 22, it being given that ∠1 = 65°, find all other angles.

Answer:

1=3          (Vertically opposite angles)
3=65°
Since 1+2=180°       (Linear pair)
2=180°-65°=115°
2=4          (Vertically opposite angles)
4=2=115° and 3=65°

Question 22:

In Fig., OA and OB are opposite rays:


(i) If x = 25°, what is the value of y?
(ii) If y = 35°, what is the value of x?

Answer:

AOC + BOC = 180°                   (Linear pair)
2y+5+3x=180°3x+2y=175°
(i) If x = 25°, then
