Question 12 Marks

An angle is equal to 8 times its complement. Determine its measure.

Answer

Let the measure of an angle be x°.
Therefore, its complement will be (90 - x)°.
It is given that

⇒ x = 720 - 8x
⇒ 9x = 720
⇒ x = 80
Therefore, the measure of the angles is 80°

Question 42 Marks

Two supplementary angles differ by 48°. Find the angles.

Answer

Let the measure of an angle x°.
$\therefore$ Its supplem entary will be (180 - x)°.
It is given that
(180 - x°) - x° = 48°
⇒ 180 - 2x = 48
⇒ 132 = 2x
⇒ x = 66°
Hence, 180 - x = 180 - 66 = 114°.
Therefore, angles are 66° and 114°.

Question 62 Marks

If the supplement of an angle is two-third of itself. Determine the angle and its supplement.

Answer

Let the measure of the angle be x°.
$\therefore$ its supplement will be (180 - x)°.
It is given that
$(180-\text{x})^\circ=\frac{2}{3}\text{x}^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 180-\text{x}=\frac{2}{3}\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{2}{3}\text{x}+\text{x}=180$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{5}{3}\text{x}=180$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=108^\circ$
Hence, supplement = 180 - 108 = 72°
$\therefore$ Angle will be 108° and its supplement will be 72°.

Question 112 Marks

In figure, ACB is a line such that $\angle\text{DCA}=5\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{DCB}=4\text{x}.$ Find the values of $\angle\text{DCA}$ and $\angle\text{DCB}.$

Answer

It is given that ACB is a line in the figure given below.
Thus, $\angle\text{ACD}$ and $\angle\text{BCD}$ from a linear pair.

Therefore, their sum must be equal to 180°.
Or, we can say that
$\angle\text{ACD}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
Also,
$\angle\text{ACD}=4\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{BCD}=5\text{x}.$ This further simplifies to:
4x + 5x = 180
9x = 180
$\text{x}=\frac{180}{9}$
x = 20
$\therefore\angle\text{DCA}=5\text{x}=5\times20^\circ=100^\circ$
$\angle\text{DCB}=4\text{x}=4\times20^\circ=80^\circ$
Hence, the values of $\angle\text{DCA}$ and $\angle\text{DCB}$ are 100° and 80° respectively.

Question 192 Marks

In figure, find the values of x, y and z.

Answer

From the given figure:
$\angle\text{y}=25^\circ$ [vertically opposite angle]
Now,

Question 212 Marks

If l, m, n are three lines such that l ∥ m and $\text{n}\perp\text{l},$ prove that $\text{n}\perp\text{m}.$

Answer

Given, l || m, $\text{n}\perp\text{l}$
To prove: $\text{n}\perp\text{m}$
Since l || m and n intersects
$\therefore\ \angle{1}=\angle{2}$ [Corresponding angles]
But, U = 90
$\Rightarrow\ \angle{2}=90^\circ$
Hence n is perpendicular to m.

Answer

Let the measure of the angle be x°.
$\therefore$ its complement will be (90 - x)°.
It is given that
Angle = 30° + $\frac{1}{2}$ complement

⇒ 2x = 60° + 90 - x
⇒ 3x = 150
⇒ x = 50
$\therefore$ Angle is 50°.

Question 272 Marks

An angle is 14° more than its complementary angle. What is its measure?

Answer

Let the angle measures x°.
Therefore, the measure of its complement becomes (90 - x)°
According to the given statement, the angle is 14 more than its complement.
Thus, we have,
x = 14 + (90 - x)
x = 104 - x
x + x = 104
2x = 104
$\text{x}=\frac{104}{2}$
x = 52
The measure of its complement becomes
90 - x = 90 - 52
= 38
Hence, the required angle measures 52° and its complement measures 38°.
