Answer:


Let the two complementary angle be 7x and 11x.

Now,

7x + 11x = 90º      (Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90º)

⇒ 18x = 90º

x=90°18=5°

7x=7×5°=35° and 11x=11×5°=55°

So, the measure of the larger angle is 55º.

Answer:


In the given figure, AB || CD and RQ is the transversal.

∴ ∠ARQ = ∠RQD       (Pair of alternate interior angles)

∠RQD = 25º                (Given)

⇒ ∠ARQ = 25º           .....(1)

Also, PQ || RS and QR is the transversal.

∴ ∠BRS = ∠PQC       (Pair of alternate exterior angles)

∠PQC = 60º                (Given)

⇒ ∠BRS = 60º           

Also,

∠BRS + ∠ARS = 180º         (Linear pair)

⇒ 60º + ∠ARS = 180º

⇒ ∠ARS = 180º − 60º = 120º        .....(2)

Now,

∠QRS = ∠ARQ + ∠ARS = 25º + 120º = 145º               [Using (1) and (2)]

Thus, the measure of ∠QRS is 145º.

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

2x+3x=180°5x=180°x=180°5=36°

So, 2x = 2 × 36º = 72º and 3x = 3 × 36º = 108º

Thus, the greater of the two angles is 108º.

If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3, then the greater of the two angles is ___108º___.

∴ ∠BOP = ∠COP = BOC2      .....(1)

OQ is the bisector of ∠AOC

∴ ∠AOQ = ∠COQ = AOC2      .....(2)

It is given that,

∠AOC and ∠BOC are two adjacent supplementary angles.

∴ ∠BOC + ∠AOC = 180º

⇒ 2∠POC + 2∠COQ = 180º

⇒ ∠POC + ∠COQ = 180°2 = 90º

⇒ ∠POQ = 90º

Thus, the bisectors of two adjacent supplementary angles are always at right angle i.e. 90º.

Answer:




Let AB and CD be two lines intersecting at O. Suppose OP and OQ are the bisectors of the vertically opposite angles ∠AOD and ∠BOC, respectively.

∴ ∠AOP = ∠DOP     .....(1)

∠BOQ = ∠COQ        .....(2)

Also, ∠BOD = ∠AOC        .....(3)            (Vertically opposite angles) 

Now,

∠AOP + ∠DOP + ∠BOD + ∠BOQ + ∠COQ + ∠AOC = 360º                 (Sum of angles formed at a point is 360º)

⇒ ∠DOP + ∠DOP + ∠BOD + ∠BOQ + ∠BOQ + ∠BOD = 360º            [Using (1), (2) and (3)]

⇒ 2∠DOP + 2∠BOD + 2∠BOQ = 360º

⇒ 2(∠DOP + ∠BOD + ∠BOQ) = 360º

⇒ ∠POQ = 360°2 = 180º

Thus, OP and OQ i.e. the bisectors of the pair of vertically opposite angles are in the same line.

Now,

∠PRB + ∠BRS = 180º         .....(1)    (Linear pair)

∠PRB = ∠DSR                    .....(2)    (Corresponding angles)

From (1) and (2), we have

∠DSR + ∠BRS = 180º

Similarly, ∠ARS + ∠CSR = 180º

Thus, if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines then each pair of consecutive interior angle is __supplementary__.

Question 10:

Answer:


Let the measure of angle be x.

Supplement of the angle = 180º − x

Complement of the angle = 90º − x

It is given that,

Supplement of the angle = 3 × Complement of the angle

⇒ 180º − x = 3(90º − x)

⇒ 180º − x = 270º − 3x

⇒ 3xx = 270º − 180º

⇒ 2x = 90º

x = 90°2 = 45º

The angle whose supplement is three times the complement is ____45º____.

Page No 10.58:

Question 11:

The supplement of an angle and the complement of another have a sum equal to half of a complete angle. If the greater angle is 10° more than the smaller, then the measures of the angles are ___________.

Answer:


Let the two angles be x and y (x > y).

Supplement of angle x = 180º − x

Complement of angle y = 90º − y

Now,

180º − x + 90º − y = 12 × 360º

⇒ 270º − x y = 180º

x + y = 90º       .....(1)

Also,

x = y + 10º

xy = 10º       .....(2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

x + y + xy = 90º + 10º

⇒ 2x = 100º

x = 100°2 = 50º

Substituting the value of x in (1), we get

50º + y = 90º

y = 90º − 50º = 40º

Thus, the measure of the angles are 40º and 50º.

The supplement of an angle and the complement of another have a sum equal to half of a complete angle. If the greater angle is 10° more than the smaller, then the measures of the angles are ___40º and 50º___.

Question 12:

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal then the bisectors of the interior angles form a _________.

Answer:




AB and CD are two parallel lines intersected by a transversal PQ at R and S, respectively.

RX is the bisector of ∠BRS and SX is the bisector of ∠DSR.

∴ ∠BRS = 2∠XRS            .....(1)        

∠DSR = 2∠XSR                .....(2)

RY is the bisector of ∠ARS and SY is the bisector of ∠CSR.

∴ ∠ARS = 2∠YRS            .....(3)         (RY is the bisector of ∠ARS)

∠CSR = 2∠YSR                .....(4)         (SY is the bisector of ∠CSR)

We know that if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

∴ ∠BRS + ∠DSR = 180º

⇒ 2∠XRS + 2∠XSR = 180º         [Using (1) and (2)]

⇒ 2(∠XRS + ∠XSR) = 180º

⇒ ∠XRS + ∠XSR = 90º           .....(5)

In ∆RSX,

∠XRS + ∠XSR + ∠RXS = 180º              (Angle sum property of triangle)

⇒ 90º + ∠RXS = 180º                             [Using (5)]

⇒ ∠RXS = 180º − 90º = 90º         .....(6)

Similarly, ∠RYS = 90º                  .....(7)

Now,

∠BRS + ∠ARS = 180º                  (Linear pair)

⇒ 2∠XRS + 2∠YRS = 180º         [Using (1) and (3)]

⇒ 2(∠XRS + ∠YRS) = 180º

⇒ ∠XRY = 90º                          .....(8)

Similarly, ∠XSY = 90º              .....(9)

In quadrilateral XRYS,

∠RXS = ∠XRY = ∠RYS = ∠XSY = 90º     [From (6), (7), (8) and (9)]

∴ Quadrilateral XRYS is a rectangle.    (If each angle of a quadrilateral is 90º, then it is a rectangle)

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal then the bisectors of the interior angles form a __rectangle__.

Consider figure 1.

Here,

∠ABC = ∠POC      .....(1)            (Corresponding angle)

∠POC = ∠PQR       .....(2)           (Corresponding angle)

From (1) and (2), we have

∠ABC = ∠PQR

Consider figure 2.

∠ABC + ∠QOB = 180º      .....(3)       (If two lines are parallel, then the pair of adjacent interior angles are supplementary)

Also, ∠QOB = ∠PQR        .....(4)        (Alternate angles)

From (3) and (4), we have

∠ABC + ∠PQR = 180º

If the arms of one angle are respectively parallel to the arms of another angle, then the two angles are either __equal__ or __supplementary__.

Question 15:

In given figure, if OP || RS, ∠OPQ = 110° and ∠QRS = 130°, then ∠PQR = _________.

Answer:



Extend OP to intersect QR at T.

Now, OU || RS and RT is the transversal.

∴ ∠PTR = ∠SRT        (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠PTR = 130º          (∠SRT = 130º)

Now,

∠PTR + ∠PTQ = 180º          (Linear pair)

⇒ 130º + ∠PTQ = 180º

⇒ ∠PTQ = 180º − 130º = 50º

In ∆PQT,

∠OPQ = ∠PTQ + ∠PQT              (The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles)

⇒ 110º = 50º + ∠PQT

⇒ ∠PQT = 110º − 50º = 60º

Or ∠PQR = 60º

Thus, the measure of ∠PQR is 60º.

In given figure, if OP || RS, ∠OPQ = 110° and ∠QRS = 130°, then ∠PQR = ___60º___.
