In the figure given below, state which lines are parallel and why?
Answer
In the given figure, $\angle\text{BAC}=\angle\text{ACD}=110^\circ$ But, these are alternate angles when transversal AC cuts AB and CD. Hence, AB || CD.
Find the angle which is four times its complement.
Answer
Let the measure of the required angle be x. Then, measure of its complement = (90º - x). Therefore, x = (90º - x)4 ⇒ x = 360º - 4x ⇒ 5x = 360º ⇒ x = 72º Hence, the measure of the required angle is 72º.
Let the measure of the required angle be x. Then, measure of its supplement = (180º - x). Therefore, x = (180º - x)5 ⇒ x = 900º - 5x ⇒ 6x = 900º x = 150º Hence, the measure of the required angle is 150º.
Two lines AB and CD intersect at O. If $\angle\text{AOC}=50^\circ,$ find $\angle\text{AOD},\angle\text{BOD}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}.$
Answer
We know that if two lines intersect then the vertically-opposite angle are equal. Therefore, $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}=50^\circ$ Let $\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{BOC}=\text{x}^\circ$ Also, we know that the sum of all angles around a point is 360°. Therefore, $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{BOD}+\angle\text{BOC}=360^\circ$ ⇒ 50 + x + 50 + x = 360º ⇒ 2x = 260º ⇒ x = 130º Hence, $\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{BOC}=130^\circ$ Therefore, $\angle\text{AOD}=130^\circ,\angle\text{BOD}=50^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOC}=130^\circ.$
Find the measure of an angle which is: Equal to its supplement.
Answer
Let the measure of the rquired angle be xº. Then, in case of supplementary angle: x + x = 180º ⇒ 2x = 180º ⇒ x = 90º Hence, measure of the angle that is equal to its supplement is 90º.
Find the measure of an angle which is: Equal to its complement.
Answer
Let the measure of the required angle be xº. Then, in case of complementary angle: x + x = 90º ⇒ 2x = 90º ⇒ x = 45º Hence, measure of the angle that is equal to its complement is 45º.
Find the measure of an angle which is 36º more than its complement.
Answer
Let the measure of the required angle be xº. then, measure of its complement = (90 - x)º. Therefore, x - (90º - x) = 36º ⇒ 2x = 126º ⇒ x = 63º Hence, the measure of the required angle is 63º.
In the adjoining figure, AOB is a straight line. Find the value of x.
Answer
We know that the sum of angles in a linear pair is 180º. Therefore, $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$ ⇒ 62º + xº = 180º ⇒ xº = (180º - 62º) ⇒ x = 118º Hence, the value of x is 118º.
Two adjacent angles on a straight line are in the ratio 5 : 4. Find the measure of each of these angles.
Answer
Let the two adjacent angles be 5x and 4x, respectively. Then, 5x + 4x = 180º ⇒ 9x = 180º ⇒ x = 20º Hence, the two angles are 5 × 20º = 100º and 4 × 20º = 80º.
