The following figures are parallelograms. Find the degree values of the unknowns x, y, z. |
Answer» (i) ∠ABC = ∠Y = 100° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠x + ∠Y = 180° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] ∠x + 100° = 180° ∠x = 180°-100° ∠x = 80° ∠x = ∠z = 80° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] (ii) ∠PSR + ∠Y = 180° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] ∠Y + 50° = 180° ∠Y = 180°- 50° ∠Y = 130° ∠x = ∠Y = 130° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠PSR = ∠PQR = 50° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠PQR + ∠Z = 180° [Linear pair] 50° + ∠Z = 180° ∠Z = 180°-50° ∠Z = 130° (iii) In ΔPMN ∠MPN + ∠PMN + ∠PNM = 180° [Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°] 30° + 90° + ∠z = 180° ∠z = 180°-120° ∠z = 60° ∠y = ∠z = 60° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠z = 180°- 120° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] ∠z = 60° ∠z + ∠NML = 180° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] 60° + 90°+ ∠x = 180° ∠x = 180°-150° ∠x = 30° (iv) ∠x = 90° [vertically opposite angles are equal] In ΔDOC ∠x + ∠y + 30° = 180° [Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°] 90° + 30° + ∠y = 180° ∠y = 180°-120° ∠y = 60° ∠y = ∠z = 60° [alternate interior angles are equal] (v) ∠x + ∠POR = 180° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] ∠x + 80° = 180° ∠x = 180°- 80° ∠x = 100° ∠y = 80° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠QRS =∠x = 100° ∠QRS + ∠Z = 180° [Linear pair] 100° + ∠Z = 180° ∠Z = 180°-100° ∠Z = 80° (vi) ∠y = 112° [In a parallelogram opposite angles are equal] ∠y + ∠TUV = 180° [In a parallelogram sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°] ∠z + 40° + 112° = 180° ∠z = 180°- 152° ∠z = 28° ∠z =∠x = 28° [alternate interior angles are equal] |
