1.	In the adjoining figure, measures of some angles are given. Using the measures, find the values of x, y, z.
Answer» i. ∠NET = 100° and ∠EMR = 140° ∠EMN + ∠EMR = 180° ∴ z +140° = 180° ∴ z = 180° -140° ∴ z = 40° ii. Also, ∠NET + ∠NEM = 180° [Angles in a linear pair] ∴ 100° + y = 180° ∴ y = 180° – 100° ∴ y = 80° iii. In ∆ENM, ∴ ∠ENM + ∠NEM + ∠EMN = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°] ∴ x + 80°+ 40°= 180° ∴ x = 180° – 80° – 40° ∴ x = 60° ∴ x = 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°

In the adjoining figure, measures of some angles are given. Using the measures, find the values of x, y, z.

Answer»

i. ∠NET = 100° and ∠EMR = 140°

∠EMN + ∠EMR = 180°

∴ z +140° = 180°

∴ z = 180° -140°

∴ z = 40°

ii. Also, ∠NET + ∠NEM = 180° [Angles in a linear pair]

∴ 100° + y = 180°

∴ y = 180° – 100°

∴ y = 80°

iii. In ∆ENM,

∴ ∠ENM + ∠NEM + ∠EMN = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]

∴ x + 80°+ 40°= 180°

∴ x = 180° – 80° – 40°

∴ x = 60°

∴ x = 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°
