Question 44 Marks
In the figure given below, AB || CD. Find the value of x in each case.
Answer
Through E draw EG || CD. Now since EG || CD and ED is a transversal. So, $\angle\text{GED}=\angle\text{EDC}=65^\circ$ [Alternate interior angles] Since EG || CD and AB || CD, EG || AB and EB is transversal. So, $\angle\text{BEG}=\angle\text{ABE}=35^\circ$ [Alternate interior angles] So, $\angle\text{DEB}=\text{x}^\circ$$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BEG}+\angle\text{GED}=35^\circ+65^\circ=100^\circ.$
Hence, x = 100.

Question 54 Marks
In the adjoining figure, three coplanar lines AB, CD and EF intersect at a point O. Find the value of x. Also, find $\angle\text{AOD},\angle\text{COE}$ and $\angle\text{AOE}.$
Answer
We know that if two lines intersect, then the vertically-opposite angles are equal.$\therefore\angle\text{DOF}=\angle\text{COE}=5\text{x}^\circ$
$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{BOC}=2\text{x}^\circ\text{ and}$
$\angle\text{AOE}=\angle\text{BOF}=3\text{x}^\circ$
Since, AOB is a straight line, we have:$\angle\text{AOE}+\angle\text{COE}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
⇒ 3x + 5x + 2x = 180º ⇒ 10x = 180º ⇒ x = 18º Therefore,$\angle\text{AOD}=2\times18^\circ=36^\circ$
$\angle\text{COE}=5\times18^\circ=90^\circ$
$\angle\text{AOE}=3\times18^\circ=54^\circ$

Question 64 Marks
Prove that the bisectors of two adjacent supplementary angles include a right angle.
Answer
Let AOB denote a straight line and let$\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$
be the supplementary angles. Then, we have:$\angle\text{AOE}=\angle\text{COE}=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}^\circ\text{ and}$
$\angle\text{BOF}=\angle\text{FOC}=\frac{1}{2}(180-\text{x})^\circ$
Therefore,$\angle\text{COE}+\angle\text{FOC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}(180^\circ-\text{x})$
$=\frac{1}{2}(\text{x}+180^\circ-\text{x})$
$=\frac{1}{2}(180^\circ)$
$=90^\circ$

Question 74 Marks
In the given figure, $AB\ ||\ CD$. Find the value of $x$.
Answer
Since$ AB\ ||\ CD$ and AC is a transversal.
So, $\angle\text{BAC}+\angle\text{ACD}=180^\circ$ [sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^{\circ}$]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACD}=180^\circ-\angle\text{BAC}$
$=180^\circ-75^\circ=105^\circ$
$\angle\text{ECF}=\angle\text{ACD}$ [Vertically opposite angles]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ECF}=105^\circ$
Now in $\triangle\text{CEF},$$\angle\text{ECF}+\angle\text{CEF}+\angle\text{EFC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow105^\circ+\text{x}^\circ+30^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=180-30-105=45$
Hence, $x = 45.$

Question 84 Marks
In the adjoining figure, three coplanar lines AB, CD and EF intersect at a point O, forming angles as shown. Find the values of x, y, z and t.
Answer
We know that if two lines intersect, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.$\therefore\angle\text{BOD}=\angle\text{AOC}=90^\circ$
Hence, t = 90º Also,$\angle\text{DOF}=\angle\text{COE}=50^\circ$
Hence, z = 50º Since, AOB is a straight line, we have:$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COE}+\angle\text{BOE}=180^\circ$
⇒ 90 + 50 + y = 180º ⇒ 140 + y = 180º ⇒ y = 40º Also,$\angle\text{BOE}=\angle\text{AOF}=40^\circ$
Hence, x = 40º$\therefore$ x = 40º, y = 40º, z = 50º and t = 90º

Question 94 Marks
In the given figure, AB || CD. Find the value of x, y and z.
Answer
AB || CD and EF is transversal.$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AEF}=\angle\text{EFG}$ (alternate angles)
Given, $\angle\text{AEF}=75^\circ$$\Rightarrow\angle\text{EFG}=\text{y}=75^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{EFC}+\angle\text{EFG}=180^\circ$ (linear pair)$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+75^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=105^\circ$
$\angle\text{EGD}=\angle\text{EFG}+\angle\text{FEG}$ (Exterior angle property)
$\Rightarrow125^\circ=\text{y}+\text{z}$
$\Rightarrow125^\circ=75^\circ+\text{z}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=50^\circ$
Thus, x = 105°, y = 75° and z = 50°.

Question 104 Marks
In the figure given below, AB || CD. Find the value of x in each case.

Answer
Through O draw OF || CD.



Now since OF || CD and OD is transversal.$\angle\text{CDO}+\angle\text{FOD}=180^\circ$
[sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^\circ$​​​​​​​]
$\Rightarrow25^\circ+\angle\text{FOD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{FOD}=180^\circ-25^\circ=155^\circ$
As OF || CD and AB || CD [Given] Thus, OF || AB and OB is a transversal.
So, $\angle\text{ABO}+\angle\text{FOB}=180^\circ$ [sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^\circ$​​​​​​​]
$\Rightarrow55^\circ+\angle\text{FOB}=180^\circ $
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{FOB}=180^\circ-55^\circ=125^\circ$
Now, $\text{x}^\circ=\angle\text{FOB}+\angle\text{FOD}=125^\circ+155^\circ=280^\circ.$
​​​​​​​Hence, x = 280.

Question 114 Marks
In the given figure, AB || CD Find the value of x, y and z.
Answer
Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal. So, $\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{BCD}$$\Rightarrow\text{x}=35$
Also, AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So, $\angle\text{BAD}=\angle\text{ADC}$$\Rightarrow\text{x}=75$
In $\triangle\text{ABO},$ we have,$\angle\text{ABO}+\angle\text{BAO}+\angle\text{BOA}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^\circ+75^\circ+\text{y}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow35+75+\text{y}=180$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=180-110=70$
$\therefore\text{x}=35,\text{y}=70$ and $\text{z}=75.$

Question 124 Marks
In the given figure, AB || CD. Prove that $\angle\text{BAE}-\angle\text{ECD}=\angle\text{AEC}.$
Answer
Draw $\text{EF}||\text{AB}||\text{CD}$ through E. Now, $\text{EF}||\text{AB}$ and AE is the transversal. Then, $\angle\text{BAE}+\angle\text{AEF}=180^\circ$ [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary] Again, $\text{EF}||\text{CD}$ and CE is the transversal.Then,
$\angle\text{DCE}+\angle\text{CEF}=180^\circ$ [Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary]$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DCE}+(\angle\text{AEC}+\angle\text{AEF})=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DCE}+\angle\text{AEC}+180^\circ-\angle\text{BAE}=180^\circ$

Question 144 Marks
Two lines are respectively perpendicular to two parallel lines. Show that they are parallel to each other.
Answer
Let the two parallel lines be m and n. Let p ⊥ m.$\Rightarrow\angle1=90^\circ$
Let q ⊥ n.$\Rightarrow\angle2=90^\circ$
Now, m || n and p is a transversal.$\Rightarrow\angle1=\angle3$ (corresponding angles)
$\Rightarrow\angle3=90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle3=\angle2$ (each 90°)
But, these are corresponding angles, when transversal n cuts lines p and q.$\therefore$ p || q.
Hence, two lines which are perpendicular to two parallel lines, are parallel to each other.

Question 164 Marks
In the figure given below, AB || CD. Find the value of x in each case.
Answer
Through E, draw EF || CD.



Now since EF || CD and EC is transversal.$\angle\text{FEC}+\angle\text{ECD}=180^\circ$
[sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^\circ$]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{FEC}+124^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{FEC}=180^\circ-124^\circ=56^\circ$
Since EF || CD and AB || CD So, EF || AB and AE is a trasveral.
So, $\angle\text{BAE}+\angle\text{FEA}=180^\circ$ [sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^\circ$​​​​​​​]
$\therefore116^\circ+\angle\text{FEA}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{FEA}=180^\circ-116^\circ=64^\circ$
Thus, $\text{x}^\circ=\angle\text{FEA}+\angle\text{FEC}$$=64^\circ+56^\circ=120^\circ.$

Question 174 Marks
In the given figure, AB || CD || EF. Find the value of x.
Answer
Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal. So, $\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{BCD}$ [atternate interior angles]$\Rightarrow70^\circ=\text{x}+\angle\text{ECD}\ ....(\text{i)}$
Now, CD || EF and CE is transversal. So, $\angle\text{ECD}+\angle\text{CEF}=180^\circ$ [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180º]$\therefore\angle\text{}\text{ECD}+130^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ECD}=180^\circ-130^\circ=50^\circ$
Putting $\angle\text{ECD}=50^\circ $ in (i) we get,$70^\circ=\text{x}^\circ+50^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=70-50=20$

In the given figure, AB || CD. Prove that P + q - r = 180.
Answer
Through F, draw KH || AB || CD Now, KF || CD and FG is a transversal.$\Rightarrow\angle\text{KFG}=\angle\text{FGD}=\text{r}^\circ (\text{i})$
[alternate angles] Again AE || KF, and EF is a transversal. So, $\angle\text{AEF}+\angle\text{KFE}=180^\circ$$\Rightarrow\angle\text{KFE}=180^\circ-\text{p}^\circ(\text{ii)}$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get,$\angle\text{KFG}+\angle\text{KFE}=180-\text{p}+\text{r}$
