Question 12 Marks

Two adjacent angles are equal. Is it necessary that each of these angles will be a right angle? Justify your answer.

Answer

No, each of these angles will be a right angle only they form a linear pair, i.e., when the non-common arms of the given two adjacent angles are two opposite rays & common arm is perpendicular to them.

Question 22 Marks

Can a triangle have all angles less than $60^\circ ?$ Give reason for your answer.

Answer

A triangle cannot have all angles less than $60^{\circ}$. Then, sum of all the angles will be less than $180^{\circ}$ whereas sum of all the angles of a triangle is always $180^{\circ}$.

Question 32 Marks

Can a triangle have two obtuse angles? Give reason for your answer.

Answer

An angle whose measure is more than $90^{\circ}$ but less than $180^{\circ}$ is called an obtuse angle. A triangle cannot have two obtuse angles because the sum of all the angles of it cannot be more than $180^{\circ}$. It is always equal to $180^{\circ}$.

Question 42 Marks

If one of the angles formed by two intersecting lines is a right angle, what can you say about the other three angles? Give reason for your answer.

Answer

If two intersect each other at a point, then four angles are formed. If one of these four angles is a right angle, then each of the other three angles will also be a right by linear pair axiom.

Question 52 Marks

How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as $53^{\circ}, 64^{\circ}$ and $63^{\circ}$ ? Give reason for your answer.

Answer

Infinitely many triangles,
The sum of given angles $=53^{\circ}+64^{\circ}+63^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$
Here, we see that sum of all interior angles of triangle is $180^{\circ}$, so infinitely many triangles can be drawn.
