In the adjoining figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠ BAO = 35°, ∠ DAO = 40° and ∠ COD = 105°. Calculate(i) ∠ ABO,(ii) ∠ ODC,(iii) ∠ ACB(iv) ∠ CBD.

Answer»

(i) From the figure we know that ∠ AOB and ∠ COD are vertically opposite angles

So we get

∠ AOB = ∠ COD = 105o

Consider △ AOB

By sum property of a triangle

∠ OAB + ∠ AOB + ∠ ABO = 180o

By substituting the values in above equation

35o + 105o + ∠ ABO = 180o

On further calculation

∠ ABO = 180o – 35o – 105o

By subtraction

∠ ABO = 180o – 140o

∠ ABO = 40o

(ii) We know that AB || DC and BD is a transversal

From the figure we know that ∠ ABD and ∠ CDB are alternate angles

It can be written as

∠ CDO = ∠ CDB = ∠ ABD = ∠ ABO = 40o

So we get

∠ ODC = 40o

(iii) We know that AB || CD and AC is a transversal

From the figure we know that ∠ ACB and ∠ DAC are alternate opposite angles

So we get

∠ ACB = ∠ DAC = 40o

(iv) We know that ∠ B can be written as

∠ B = ∠ CBD + ∠ ABO

So we get

∠ CBD = ∠ B – ∠ ABO

In a parallelogram we know that the sum of all the angles is 360o

So we get

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D = 360o

It can be written as

2 ∠ A + 2 ∠ B = 360o

By substituting values in the above equation

2 (40o + 35o) + 2 ∠ B = 360o

On further calculation

2 (75o) + 2 ∠ B = 360o

So we get

150o + 2 ∠ B = 360o

2 ∠ B = 360o – 150o

By subtraction

2 ∠ B = 210o

By division

∠ B = 105o

So we get

∠ CBD = ∠ B – ∠ ABO

By substituting values

∠ CBD = 105o – 40o

By subtraction

∠ CBD = 65o
