Maths 3 Mark Question

y : z = 3 : 7 [Given]
Let the common multiple be m
∴ ∠j = 3m and ∠z = 7m ….(i)
line AB || line EF and line PQ is their transversal [Given]
∠x = ∠z
∴ ∠x = 7m …..(ii) [From (i)]
line AB || line CD and line PQ is their transversal [Given]
∠x + ∠y = 180°
∴ 7m + 3m = 180°
∴ 10m = 180°
∴ m = 18°
∴ ∠x = 7m = 7(18°) [From (ii)]
∴ ∠x = 126°

Proof:
∠x = 130°
∠y = 50° [Vertically opposite angles]
Here, m∠PQT + m∠QTS = 130° + 50° = 180°
But, ∠ PQT and ∠ QTS are a pair of interior angles on lines l and m when line n is the transversal,

∴ line l || line m [Interior angles test]

Proof:

∠a = ∠b [Given]
But, ∠a and ∠b are corresponding angles on lines l and m when line k is the transversal.
∴ line l || line m ….(i) [Corresponding angles test]
∠x ≅ ∠y [Given]
But, ∠x and ∠y are alternate angles on lines m and n when seg PQ is the transversal,

∴ line m || line n ……(ii) [Alternate angles test]
∴ From (i) and (ii),
line l || line m || line n
i.e., line l || line n

Proof:

consider ∠c as shown in the figure ∠a ≅ ∠c …….. (i) [Vertically opposite angles]
But, ∠a ≅ ∠b I (ii) [Given]
∴ ∠b ≅ ∠c [From (i) and (ii)]
But, ∠b and ∠c are corresponding angles on lines l and m when line n is the transversal.
∴ line l || line m. [Corresponding angles test]

y = 108°, x = 71° …[Given]
x + y = 71° + 108°
= 179°
∴ x + y = 180°
∴ The angles x andy are not supplementary.
∴ The angles do not satisfy the interior angles test for parallel lines
∴ line m and line n are not parallel lines.
