In figure, BEST is a parallelogram. Find the values of x, y and z.

Answer»

∵ BEST is a parallelogram. 

∴ ∠B + x° = 180° 

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary 

⇒ 110° + x° = 180° 

⇒ x° = 180° – 110° 

⇒ x° = 70° 

⇒ x = 70 

∵ Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal 

∴ x° = y° 

⇒ 70° = y° 

⇒ y = 70 and z° = 110° 

⇒ z = 110

In a trapezium PQRS, PQ || SR, find the value of ∠x and ∠y.

Answer»

∵ PQ || SR
∴ x + 90° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 90° = 90°
Again ∴ PQRS is a quadrilateral
∴ x + y + 130° + 90° = 360°
∵ We know that sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
⇒ 90° + y + 130° + 90° = 360°
⇒ y + 310° = 360°
⇒ y = 360° – 310°
⇒ y = 50°

11.

The following figure PQRS in a parallelogram. Find x and y (length is in cm).

Answer»

In parallelogram PQ = SR
so 3x – 1 = 29
or 3x = 29 + 1
or 3x = 30
or x = 30/3
= 10 cm
In parallelogram PS = QR
so 4y = 24
or y = 24/4
= 6 cm
so we can write x = 10 cm and y = 6 cm

Answer»

By showing given parallelogram RING,
∵∠R = 70° (given that)
∴∠N = 70°
∵∠N, ∠R are opposite angles
we know that the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°, therefore ∠I = 180° – 70° = 110°
so we can write ∠G = 110° 

∵ ∠I, ∠G are opposite angles.

Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular (i) pentagon (ii) hexagon (iii) heptagon (iv) decagon (v) polygon of 15 sides

Answer»

(i) In Regular Pentagon, all sides are of same size and measure of all interior angles are same. 

The sum of interior angles of pentagon is 

(n – 2) × 180° [n is number of sides of polygon)] 

(5 – 2) × 180°= 540°.

Each interior angle = 540/5 = 108°

As, we know that Sum of Interior Angle and Exterior Angle is 180° 

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180° 

Exterior Angle +108° =180° 

So, Exterior Angle = 180°- 108° 

= 72°

(ii) In Regular Hexagon, all sides are of same size and measure of all interior angles are same. 

The sum of interior angles of hexagon is 

(n – 2) × 180° [n is number of sides of polygon)] 

(6 – 2) × 180°= 720° 

Each interior angle = 720/6 = 120° 

As, we know that Sum of Interior Angle and Exterior Angle is 180° 

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180° 

Exterior Angle + 120° = 180° 

So, Exterior Angle = 180°- 120° 

= 60°

(iii) In Regular Heptagon, all sides are of same size and measure of all interior angles are same. 

The sum of interior angles of heptagon is 

(n – 2) × 180° [n is number of sides of polygon)] 

(7 – 2) X 180°= 900°.

Each interior angle = 900/7 = 128.57°

As, we know that Sum of Interior Angle and Exterior Angle is 180° 

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180° 

Exterior Angle + 128.57° =180° 

So, Exterior Angle = 180°– 128.57° 

= 51.43°

(iv) In Regular Decagon, all sides are of same size and measure of all interior angles are same. 

The sum of interior angles of decagon is 

(n – 2) × 180° [n is number of sides of polygon)] 

(10 – 2) X 180°= 1440° . 

Each interior angle = 1440/10 = 144°

As, we know that Sum of Interior Angle and Exterior Angle is 180° 

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180° 

Exterior Angle + 144° =180° 

So, Exterior Angle = 180°- 144° 

= 36°

(v) In Regular Polygon of 15 sides, all sides are of same size and measure of all interior angles are same. 

The sum of interior angles of polygon of 15 sides is 

(n – 2) × 180° [n is number of sides of polygon)] 

(15 – 2) X 180°= 2340°. 

Each interior angle = 2340/15 = 156°

As, we know that Sum of Interior Angle and Exterior Angle is 180° 

Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180° 

Exterior Angle + 156° = 180° 

So, Exterior Angle = 180°- 156° 

= 24°

25.

Two angles of a triangle are 40°, 60° each. Find the measure of the exterior angles?

Answer»

In the diagram, CDP is a straight line, ΔAQD is equilateral ∠BAR= 90°, ∠QAR= 135°, ∠BCD = 106° and ∠ABC = 100°. Then, ∠PDQ equals.(a) 39° (b) 21° (c) 41° (d) 53°

Answer»

(c) 41°

ΔAQD is an equilateral Δ 

⇒ ∠QAD = ∠QDA = ∠AQD = 60° 

∠BAD = 360° – (135° + 90° + 60°) 

= 360° – 285° = 75° (Angles round a pt.) 

Also, in quad. ABCD, 

∠CDA = 360°– (100° + 106° + 75°) 

= 360° – 281° = 79°. 

∴ ∠PDQ =180° – (∠CDA+ ∠QDA)         (CDP is a st. line) 

= 180° – (79° + 60°) = 180° – 139° = 41°.

28.

The external angles of a triangle from the three vertices are (2x + 30°), (3x – 10°), 100°. Find the value of x?

In the given diagram, ABCD is a square and ΔBCT is an equilateral triangle. ∠BTD equals(a) 30° (b) 15° (c) 45° (d) 35°

Answer»

(c) 45°

∠DCB = 90° (ABCD is a square) 

∠TCB = 60° (DCT is an equilateral Δ) 

∴ ∠DCT = 90° + 60° = 150° 

DC = CB (Adj sides of a square) 

CB = CT (Sides of an equilateral Δ) 

⇒ DC = CT ⇒ ∠CTD =∠CDT (isos. Δ property) 

In ΔDCT, ∠CTD = \(\frac12\) (180° –∠DCT) 

= \(\frac12\) (180° – 150°) = 15° 

∴ ∠BTD =∠BTC – ∠CTD= 60° – 15° = 45°.

33.

A square, a regular pentagon and a regular hexagon are jointly drawn in the figure Find ∠BAC

Answer»

One angle of a regular pentagon = 108° 

One angle of a regular hexagon = 120°.

A regular pentagon and regular hexagon are jointly drawn in the figure. Find PQR?

Answer»

Sum of angles of a regular pentagon = (5 – 2) 180°

= 3 × 180 = 540°

One angle of a regular pentagon = \(\frac{540}{5}\) = 108°

Sum of angles of a regular hexagon = (6 – 2) 180°

= 4 × 180 = 720°

One of its angle = \(\frac{720}{6}\) = 120°

∴ ∠PQR = 360 – (108 + 120)

= 360 – 228 = 132°

In the figure below, ABCDEF is a regular hexagon. Prove that ∆ BDF is an equilateral triangle?

Answer»

Sum of angles of a regular hexagon = (6 – 2) 180 = 720°

= 4 × 180 = 720°

One angle = \(\frac{720}{6}\) = 120°

consider ∆ EFO

∠E = 120°

∠EFD = ∠EDF = 30°(Angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal) 

Similarly ∠AFB = 30° 

∴∠DFB = 120 – (30 + 30) = 60° 

∴ ∠FBD = 60°, 

∠FDB = 60° 

∴ ∆ FDB is an equilateral triangle.

One interior angle of a hexagon is 165° and the measure of remaining interior angle is x° then find out the measure of all the angles.

Answer»

Sum of interior angles of a hexagon 

= (n – 2) x 180° 

= (6 – 2) x 180°

= 4 x 180° = 720° 

According to question, 

⇒ 165° + x° + x° + x° + x° + x° = 720°

⇒ 5x° = 555° 

⇒ 5x = 555 

⇒ x = 555/5 

⇒ x = 111
