Question 13 Marks
If a wheel has six spokes equally spaced, then find the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes.
Answer
View full question & 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°. Also, The six spokes form a complete angle, that is 360°. Therefore, x + x + x + x + x + x = 360° 6x = 360°$\text{x}=\frac{360^\circ}{6}$
x = 60° Hence, the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes measures 60°.
x = 60° Hence, the measure of the angle between two adjacent spokes measures 60°.





Proof: Since AB || EF and AB || CD, Therefore EF || CD [Lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other]$\angle\text{ABP}+\angle\text{EPB}=180^\circ$[Sum of co-interior angles is 180]




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,$\angle{2}+\angle\text{CDP}=180^\circ\dots(\text{i})$





$\angle\text{BOF}=35^\circ$

We have the following pair of adjacent angles, so formed:$\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$
Given:$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{BOD}=270^\circ$

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOE}+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$
