Answer
m∠EOD = m∠AOB = 8y ….(vertically opposite angles)
∠FOL, ∠EOD and ∠COD form a straight angle.
∴ m∠FOE + m∠EOD + m∠COD = 180°
∴ 4y + 8y + 6y = 180
∴ 18y = 180
\therefore y=\frac{180}{18}
∴ y = 10
m∠EOD = 8y = 8 x 10 = 80°
m∠AOF = m∠COD ….(Vertically opposite angles)
= 6y = 6 x 10 = 60°
m∠BOC = m∠FOE ….(Vertically opposite angles)
= 4y = 4 x 10 = 40°
∴ The measures of ∠EOD, ∠AOF and ∠BOC are 80°, 60° and 40° respectively.

Question 24 Marks
If ∠A and ∠B are supplementary angles and m∠B = (x + 20)°, then what would be m∠A ?
Answer
Since, ∠A and ∠B are supplementary angles.
∴m∠A + m∠B = 180
∴m∠A + x + 20 = 180
∴m∠A + x + 20 – 20 = 180 – 20 ….(Subtracting 20 from both sides)
∴m∠A + x = 160
∴m∠A + x – x = 160 – x ….(Subtracting x from both sides)
∴m∠A = (160 – x)°
∴The measure of ∠A is (160 – x)°.

Question 34 Marks
If m∠A = 70°, what is the measure of the supplement of the complement of ∠A ?
Answer
Let the measure of the complement of ∠A be x° and the measure of its supplementary angle be y°.
m∠A + x = 90°
∴70 + x = 90
∴70 + x – 70 = 90 – 70 ….(Subtracting 70 from both sides)
∴x = 20
Since, x and y are supplementary angles.
∴x + y = 180
∴20 + y = 180
∴20 + y – 20 = 180 – 20 ….(Subtracting 20 from both sides)
∴y = 160
∴The measure of supplement of the complement of ∠A is 160°.

Question 44 Marks
(y – 20)° and (y + 30)° are the measures of complementary angles. Find the measure of each angle.
Answer
(y – 20)° and (y + 30)° are the measures of complementary angles.
∴ (y – 20) + (y + 30) = 90
∴ y + y + 30 – 20 = 90
∴ 2y+10 = 90
∴ 2y = 90 – 10
∴ 2y = 80
\therefore y=\frac{80}{2}
= 40
Measure of first angle = (y – 20)° = (40 – 20)° = 20°
Measure of second angle = (y + 30)° = (40 + 30)° = 70°
∴ The measure of the two angles is 20° and 70°.

Question 54 Marks
Are the following pairs adjacent angles? If not, state the reason.
Image


  1. ∠PMQ and ∠RMQ
  2. ∠RMQ and ∠SMR
  3. ∠RMS and ∠RMT
  4. ∠SMT and ∠RMS
Answer
  1. ∠PMQ and ∠RMQ are adjacent angles.
  2. ∠RMQ and ∠SMR not adjacent angles since they do not have separate interiors.
  3. ∠RMS and ∠RMT not adjacent angles since they do not have separate interiors.
  4. ∠SMT and ∠RMS are adjacent angles.
