Answer:

We know that the sum of angles at a point is 360°.
One angle = 45°
Let the equal angles be x° each

Q.31Find the value of x if ∠AOB is a right angle.v
Answer:

Given that ∠AOB = 90°∠AOB = ∠AOC + ∠COB = 90° (Adjacent angles)
3x + 2x = 90°
5x = 90°

Q.32Find the value of x, y and z.v
Answer:

∠DOB and ∠BOC are linear pair
∴ ∠DOB + ∠BOC = 180°
x + 3x + 40 = 180°
4x + 40 = 180°
4x + 40 – 40 = 180° – 40°
4x = 140°Also ∠BOD and ∠AOC are vertically opposite angles.
∴ ∠BOD = ∠AOC
x = z + 10
35° = z + 10
z + 10 – 10 = 35 – 10
z = 25°
Again ∠AOD and ∠AOC are linear pair.
∴ ∠AOD + ∠AOC = 180°
y + 30 + z + 10 = 180°
y + 30 + 25 + 10 = 180°
y + 65 = 180°
y + 65 – 65 = 180° – 65
y = 115°
∴ x = 35°,
y = 115°,
z = 25°

Q.33Two angles are in the ratio 11 : 25. If they are linear pair, find the angles.v
Answer:

Given two angles are in the ratio 11 : 25.
Let the angles be 11x and 25x.
They are also linear pair
∴ 11x + 25x = 180°.∴ The angles 11x = 11 × 5° = 55° and 25x = 25 × 5 = 125°.
∴ The angles are 55° and 125°.

Q.34Using the figure, answer the following questions and justify your answer. (i) Is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2? (ii) Is ∠AOB adjacent to ∠BOE? (iii) Does ∠BOC and ∠BOD form a linear pair? (iv) Are the angles ∠COD and ∠BOD supplementary. (v) Is ∠3 vertically opposite to ∠1 ? v
Answer:

(i) Yes, ∠1 is adjacent to ∠2.
Because they both have the common vertex ‘O’ and the common arm OA . Also their interiors do not overlap.
(ii) No, ∠AOB and ∠BOB are not adjacent angles because they have overlapping interiors.
(iii) No, ∠BOC and ∠BOD does not form a linear pair.
Because ∠BOC itself a straight angle, so the sum of ∠BOC and ∠BOD exceed 180°.
(iv) Yes, the angles ∠COD and ∠BOD are supplementary ∠COD + ∠BOD = 180°, [∵ linear pair of angles]
∴ ∠COD and ∠BOD are supplementary.
(v) No. ∠3 and ∠1 are not formed by intersecting lines. So they are not vertically opposite angles.

Q.35Draw two parallel lines and a transversal. Mark two alternate interior angles G and H. If they are supplementary, what is the measure of each angle?v
Answer:

l and m are parallel lines and n is the transversal.
∠G and ∠H are alternate interior angles.
∠G = ∠H …… (1)
Given ∠G and ∠G are Suplementary

Q.36A plumber must install pipe 2 parallel to pipe 1. He knows that ∠1 is 53. What is the measure of ∠2? v
Answer:

Given ∠1 = 53°Clearly ∠1 and ∠2 are interior angles on the same side of the transversal and so they are supplementary.
∠1 + ∠2 = 180°
53° + ∠2 = 180°
53° + ∠2 – 53° = 180° – 53°
∠2 = 127°

Q.39In the parking lot shown, the lines that mark the width of each space are parallel. If ∠1 = (2x – 3y)°; ∠2 = (x + 39)° find x° and y°. v
Answer:

From the picture
∠2 + 65° = 180° [Sum of interior angles on the same side of a transversal]
x + 39° + 65° = 180°
x + 104° = 180°
x + 104° – 104° = 180° – 104°
x = 76°
Also from the picture
∠1 = 65° [alternate exterior angles]
2x – 3y = 65°
2 (76) – 3y = 65°
152° – 3y = 65°
152° – 3y – 152° = 65 – 152°
-3y = -87

Then the other will be 3x – 42°.
