Question 15 Marks
Draw a line m. Draw a line n which is parallel to line m at a distance of 4 cm from it.
Answer
Steps of construction :
  1. Draw a line m and take any two points M and N on the line.
  2. Draw perpendiculars to line m at points M and N.
  3. On the perpendicular lines take points S and T at a distance 4 cm from points M and N respectively.
  4. Draw a line through points S and T. Name the line as n.

Draw a line l. Take a point T outside the line. Through point T draw a line parallel to line l.
Answer
Steps of construction :

  1. Draw a line l and take any point T outside the line.
  2. Place a set-square, such that one arm of the right angle passes through T and the other arm is on line l.
  3. Place the second set-square as shown in the figure such that the vertex of the right angle is at point T.
  4. Hold the two set-squares in place and draw a line parallel to line l through the edge of the second set-square. Name the line as m.

Question 45 Marks
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal eight angles are formed. If the measure of one of these eight angles is given, can we find measures of remaining seven angles ?
Answer
Yes, we can find the measures of the remaining angles.
Image
In the given figure, line m || line n and line l is a transversal.
m∠a = 60°(say) …(i)
i. m∠a + m∠b = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ 60° + m∠b =180° … [From (i)]
∴ m∠b = 180° – 60°
∴ m∠b = 120° …(ii)

ii. m∠c = m∠b …[Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠c = 120° .. .(iii) [From (ii)]

iii. m∠d = m∠a …[Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠d = 60° …(iv) [From (i)]

iv. m∠e = m∠d …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠e = 60° … [From (iv)]

v. m∠f = m∠c …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠f = 120° …[From (iii)]

vi. m∠g = m∠d …[Corresponding angles]
∴ m∠g = 60° … [From (iv)]

vii. m∠h = m∠c … [Corresponding angles]
∴ m∠h = 120° …[From (iii)]

Question 55 Marks
In the given figure, line p || line l || line q. Find ∠x with the help of the measures given in the figure.
Image
Answer

Image
line p || line l and line IJ is a transversal.
m∠IJN = m∠JIH … [Alternate angles]
∴ m∠IJN = 40° …(i)
line l || line q and line MJ is a transversal.
m∠MJN = m∠JMK … [Alternate angles]
∴ m∠MJN = 30° …(ii)
Now, m∠x = m∠IJN + m∠MJN
…[Angle addition property]
= 40° + 30° …[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ m∠x = 70°

Question 65 Marks
In the given figure, line a || line b, line l is a transversal. Find the measures of ∠x, ∠y, ∠z using the given information.
Image
Answer
line a || line b and line l is a transversal.
∴ m∠x = 105° …(i) [Corresponding angles]

ii. m∠y = m∠x … [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠y = 105° …[From (i)]

iii. m∠z + 105° = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠z = 180°- 105°
∴ m∠z = 75°
∴ m∠x = 105°, m∠y = 105°, m∠z = 75°

Question 75 Marks
In the given figure, line p || line q, line l || line m. Find measures of ∠a, ∠b and ∠c, using the measures of given angles. Justify your answers.
Image
Answer
i. line p || line q and line l is a transversal.
∴ m∠a + 80° = 180° …[Interior angles]
∴ m∠a= 180° – 80°
∴ m∠a= 100°

ii. line l || line m and line p is a transversal.
∴ m∠c = 80° …(i) [Exterior alternate angles]

iii. line p || line q and line m is a transversal.
∴ m∠b = m∠c … [Corresponding angles]
m∠b = 80° …[From (i)]
∴ m∠a = 100°, m∠b = 80°, m∠c = 80°

Question 85 Marks
In the given figure, line p || line q. Line t and line s are transversals. Find measure of ∠x and ∠y using the measures of angles given in the figure.

Image

Answer

Image
i. Consider ∠z as shown in figure.
line p || line q and line t is a transversal.
∴ m∠z = 40° …(i) [Corresponding angles]
m∠x + m∠z = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠x + 40o = 180° …[From(i)]
∴ m∠x= 180° – 40°
∴ m∠x = 140°

ii. Consider ∠w as shown in the figure.
m∠w + 70° = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠w = 180° – 70°
∴ m∠w = 110° …(ii)
line p || line q and line s is a transversal.
∴ m∠y = m∠w …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠y =110° …[From (ii)]
∴ m∠x = 140°, m∠y = 110°
