Question 13 Marks
If a wheel has six spokes equally spaced, then find the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes.
Answer
It is given that the six spokes are equally spaced, thus, two adjacent spokes subtend equal angle at the centre of the wheel.
Let that angle measures $x^\circ$ .
Also, The six spokes form a complete angle, that is $360^\circ$ .
Therefore, $x + x + x + x + x + x = 360^\circ$ $6x = 360^\circ$ $\text{x}=\frac{360^\circ}{6}$ $x = 60^\circ$
Hence, the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes measures $60^\circ$ .

Question 53 Marks
In figure, $AB\ ||\ CD\ ||\ EF$ and $GH\ ||\ KL$. Find $\angle\text{HKL}.$
Answer
Produce $LK$ to meet $GF$ at $N$.
Now, alternative angles are equal $\angle\text{CHG}=\angle\text{HGN}=60^\circ$
$\angle\text{HGN}=\angle\text{KNF}=60^\circ$ [Corresponding angles]
Hence, $\angle\text{KNG}=180-60=120$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{GNK}=\angle\text{AKL}=120^\circ$ [Corresponding angles]
$\angle\text{AKH}=\angle\text{KHD}=25^\circ$ [alternative angles]
Therefore, $\angle\text{HKL}=\angle\text{AKH}+\angle\text{AKL}=25+120=145^\circ.$

Answer
Given that $AB\ ||\ CD$ Let $EF$ be the parallel line to $AB$ and $CD$ which passes through $P$.
It can be seen from the figure. Alternative angles are equal $\angle\text{ABP}=\angle\text{BPF}$ Alternative angles are equal $\angle\text{CDP}=\angle\text{DPF}$ $\angle\text{ABP}+\angle\text{CDP}=\angle\text{BPF}+\angle\text{DPF}$ $\angle\text{ABP}+\angle\text{CDP}=\angle\text{DPB}$

Question 83 Marks
Define supplementary angles.
Answer
supplementary Angles: Two angles, the sum of whose measures is $180^\circ $, are called suppplementary angles.
Thus,
angles $\angle\text{BAC}$ and $\angle\text{DAC}$ are aupplementary angles.
If $x + y = 180^\circ $.

Example $1$: Angles of measure $50^\circ$ and $130^\circ $ are supplementary angles, because
$50^\circ + 130^\circ = 180^\circ $
Example $2$: Angles of measure $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ $ are supplementary angles, because
$60^\circ + 120^\circ = 180^\circ $

Given $\angle\text{POR}=3\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{QOR}=2\text{x}+10,$ Find the value of $x$ for which $POQ$ will be a line. (Figure $10.41$).
Answer
For the case that $POR$ is a line $\angle\text{POR}$ and $\angle\text{QOR}$ are linear parts $\angle\text{POR}+\angle\text{QOR}=180^\circ$
Also, given that, $\angle\text{POR}=3\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{QOR}=2\text{x}+10$

Question 113 Marks
In figure, $AB\ ||\ CD$ and $P$ is any point shown in the figure. Prove that: $\angle\text{ABP}+\angle\text{BPD}+\angle\text{CDP}=360^\circ$
Answer
The given figure is as follows:

It is give that $AB || CD$ Let us draw a line $XY$ passing through point $P$ and parallel to $AB$ and $CD$.
We have $XY\ ||\ CD$, thus, $\angle\text{CDP}$ and $\angle{2}$ are consecutive interior angles.
Therefore, $\angle{2}+\angle\text{CDP}=180^\circ\dots(\text{i})$
Similarly, we have $XY\ ||\ AB$, thus, $\angle\text{ABP}$ and $\angle{1}$ are consecutive interior angles.
​​​​​​​Therefore, $\angle{1}+\angle\text{ABP}=180^\circ\dots(\text{ii})$ On adding equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get: $\angle{2}+\angle\text{CDP}+\angle{1}+\angle\text{ABP}=180^\circ+180^\circ$ $(\angle{2}+\angle{1})+\angle\text{CDP}+\angle\text{ABP}=360^\circ$ $\angle\text{ABP}+\angle\text{BPD}+\angle\text{CDP}=360^\circ$ Hence proved.

Answer
Given that, $x = 25$ Since $\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$ form a linear pair $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
Given that $\angle\text{AOC}=2\text{y}+5$ and $\angle\text{BOC}=3\text{x}$

Question 173 Marks
If the complement of an angle is equal to the supplement of the thrice of it. Find the measure of the angle.
Answer
Let the measure of the angle be $x^\circ $.
Its complement will be $(90^\circ - x^\circ )$ and its supplement will be $(180^\circ - x^\circ )$.
Supplement of thrice of the angle $= (180^\circ - 3x^\circ )$
According to the given information:
$(90^\circ - x^\circ ) = (180^\circ - 3x^\circ )$
$3x - x = 180 - 90$
$2x = 90$
$x = 45$
Thus, the measure of the angle is $45^\circ $.
The measure of the angle is $45^\circ $.

Question 233 Marks
An angle is equal to five times its complement. Determine its measure.
Answer
Let the complement of the required angle measures $x^\circ$ .
Therefore, the required angle becomes $5x^\circ $.
Since, the angles are complementary.
Thus, their sum must be equal to $90^\circ $.
Or we can say that : $x + 5x = 90^\circ 6x = 90^\circ $ $\text{x}=\frac{90^\circ}{6}$ $x = 15^\circ $
Hence, the required angle becomes: $5x = 5(15^\circ ) = 75^\circ $.

Question 243 Marks
An angle is equal to its supplement. Determine its measure.
Answer
Let the supplement of the angle be $x^\circ$ .
According the given statement, the required angle is equal to its supplement, therefore, the required angle becomes $x^\circ$ .
 Sine both the angles are supplementary, therefore, their sum must be equal to $180^\circ$ .
Or we can say that: $x + x = 180^\circ$ $2x = 180^\circ$ $\text{x}=\frac{180^\circ}{2}$$ x = 90^\circ$
Hence, the required angle measures $90^\circ$ .

Answer

Given: $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{BOD}=270^\circ$
To find: $\angle\text{AOC},\angle\text{COB},\angle\text{BOD},\angle\text{DOA}$
Here, $\angle\text{AOC},\angle\text{COB},\angle\text{BOD}=270^\circ$[Complete angle]
$\Rightarrow 270 + AOD = 360 $

Now, $AOD + BOD = 180$ [Linear pair]
$90 + BOD = 180 $
$\Rightarrow BOD = 180 - 90$
$ \Rightarrow BOD = 90 AOD = BOC = 90$ [Vertically opposite angles]
$BOD = AOC = 90$ [Vertically opposite angles]

In figure, lines $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at $O$. If $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOE}=70^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOD}=40^\circ,$ find $\angle\text{BOE}$ and reflex $\angle\text{COE}.$
Answer
In the figure, $\angle\text{AOC},\angle\text{BOE}$ and $\angle\text{COE} $ from a linear pair.
Thus,
$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOE}+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$
It is given that $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOE}=70^\circ,$
on substituting this value, we get:
$70^\circ+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ-70^\circ$
$\angle\text{COE}=110^\circ$
Thus, reflex $\angle\text{COE}=360^\circ-110^\circ$
Therefore, reflex $\angle\text{COE}=250^\circ.$
