Answer 1

Exercise: 6.1

1

From the diagram, we have

(AOC +BOE +COE) and (COE +BOD +BOE) forms a straight line.

So, AOC+BOE +COE = COE +BOD+BOE = 180°

Now, by putting the values of AOC+BOE = 70° and BOD = 40° we get

COE = 110° and

BOE = 30°

2

We know that the sum of linear pair are always equal to 180°

So,

POY +a +b = 180°

Putting the value of POY = 90° (as given in the question) we get,

a+b = 90°

Now, it is given that a : b = 2 : 3 so,

Let a be 2x and b be 3x

∴ 2x+3x = 90°

Solving this we get

5x = 90°

So, x = 18°

∴ a = 2×18° = 36°

Similarly, b can be calculated and the value will be

b = 3×18° = 54°

From the diagram, b+c also forms a straight angle so,

b+c = 180°

c+54° = 180°

∴ c = 126°

3

Since ST is a straight line so,

∠PQS+∠PQR = 180° (linear pair) and

∠PRT+∠PRQ = 180° (linear pair)

Now, ∠PQS + ∠PQR = ∠PRT+∠PRQ = 180°

Since ∠PQR =∠PRQ (as given in the question)

∠PQS = ∠PRT. (Hence proved).

4

For proving AOB is a straight line, we will have to prove x+y is a linear pair

i.e. x+y = 180°

We know that the angles around a point are 360° so,

x+y+w+z = 360°

In the question, it is given that,

x+y = w+z

So, (x+y)+(x+y) = 360°

2(x+y) = 360°

∴ (x+y) = 180° (Hence proved).

5

In the question, it is given that (OR ⊥ PQ) and POQ = 180°

So, POS+ROS+ROQ = 180°

Now, POS+ROS = 180°- 90° (Since POR = ROQ = 90°)

∴ POS + ROS = 90°

Now, QOS = ROQ+ROS

It is given that ROQ = 90°,

∴ QOS = 90° +ROS

Or, QOS – ROS = 90°

As POS + ROS = 90° and QOS – ROS = 90°, we get

POS + ROS = QOS – ROS

2 ROS + POS = QOS

Or, ROS = ½ (QOS – POS) (Hence proved).

6

Here, XP is a straight line

So, XYZ +ZYP = 180°

Putting the value of XYZ = 64° we get,

64° +ZYP = 180°

∴ ZYP = 116°

From the diagram, we also know that ZYP = ZYQ + QYP

Now, as YQ bisects ZYP,

ZYQ = QYP

Or, ZYP = 2ZYQ

∴ ZYQ = QYP = 58°

Again, XYQ = XYZ + ZYQ

By putting the value of XYZ = 64° and ZYQ = 58° we get.

XYQ = 64°+58°

Or, XYQ = 122°

Now, reflex QYP = 180°+XYQ

We computed that the value of XYQ = 122°.

So,

QYP = 180°+122°

∴ QYP = 302°

Exercise: 6.2

1

We know that a linear pair is equal to 180°.

So, x+50° = 180°

∴ x = 130°

We also know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, y = 130°

In two parallel lines, the alternate interior angles are equal. In this,

x = y = 130°

This proves that alternate interior angles are equal and so, AB CD.

2

It is known that AB CD and CDEF

As the angles on the same side of a transversal line sums up to 180°,

x + y = 180° —–(i)

Also,

O = z (Since they are corresponding angles)

and, y +O = 180° (Since they are a linear pair)

So, y+z = 180°

Now, let y = 3w and hence, z = 7w (As y : z = 3 : 7)

∴ 3w+7w = 180°

Or, 10 w = 180°

So, w = 18°

Now, y = 3×18° = 54°

and, z = 7×18° = 126°

Now, angle x can be calculated from equation (i)

x+y = 180°

Or, x+54° = 180°

∴ x = 126°

3

Since AB CD, GE is a transversal.

It is given that GED = 126°

So, GED = AGE = 126° (As they are alternate interior angles)

Also,

GED = GEF +FED

As EF⊥ CD, FED = 90°

∴ GED = GEF+90°

Or, GEF = 126° – 90° = 36°

Again, FGE +GED = 180° (Transversal)

Putting the value of GED = 126° we get,

FGE = 54°

So,

AGE = 126°

GEF = 36° and

FGE = 54°

4

First, construct a line XY parallel to PQ.

We know that the angles on the same side of transversal is equal to 180°.

So, PQR+QRX = 180°

Or,QRX = 180°-110°

∴ QRX = 70°

Similarly,

RST +SRY = 180°

Or, SRY = 180°- 130°

∴ SRY = 50°

Now, for the linear pairs on the line XY-

QRX+QRS+SRY = 180°

Putting their respective values, we get,

QRS = 180° – 70° – 50°

Hence, QRS = 60°

5

From the diagram,

APQ = PQR (Alternate interior angles)

Now, putting the value of APQ = 50° and PQR = x we get,

x = 50°

Also,

APR = PRD (Alternate interior angles)

Or, APR = 127° (As it is given that PRD = 127°)

We know that

APR = APQ+QPR

Now, putting values of QPR = y and APR = 127° we get,

127° = 50°+ y

Or, y = 77°

Thus, the values of x and y are calculated as:

x = 50° and y = 77°

6

First, draw two lines BE and CF such that BE ⊥ PQ and CF ⊥ RS.

Now, since PQ RS,

So, BE CF

We know that,

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection (By the law of reflection)

So,

1 = 2 and

3 = 4

We also know that alternate interior angles are equal. Here, BE ⊥ CF and the transversal line BC cuts them at B and C

So, 2 = 3 (As they are alternate interior angles)

Now, 1 +2 = 3 +4

Or, ABC = DCB

So, AB CD alternate interior angles are equal)
