Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Ex 5.1 Solutions

Question - 11 : - In the following figure, is тИа1 adjacent to тИа2? Give reasons.

Answer - 11 : -

No, тИа1 andтИа2 are not adjacent angles.

Reasons:
(i)
тИа1 + тИа2 тЙа 180┬░
(ii) They have no common vertex.

Question - 12 : - Find the values of the angles x, y and z in each of the following:

Answer - 12 : -

From Fig. 1. we have
тИаx = тИа55┬░ (Vertically opposite angles)
тИаx + тИаy = 180┬░ (Adjacent angles)
55┬░ + тИаy = 180┬░ (Linear pair angles)
тИ┤ тИаy = 180┬░ тАУ 55┬░ = 125┬░
тИаy = тИаz (Vertically opposite angles)
125┬░ = тИаz
Hence, тИаx = 55┬░, тИаy = 125┬░ and тИаz = 125┬░
(ii) 25┬░ + x + 40┬░ = 180┬░ (Sum of adjacent angles on straight line)
65┬░ + x = 180┬░
тИ┤ x = 180┬░ тАУ 65┬░ = 115┬░
40┬░ + y = 180┬░ (Linear pairs)
тИ┤ y = 180┬░ тАУ 40┬░ = 140┬░
y + z = 180┬░ (Linear pairs)
140┬░ + z = 180┬░
тИ┤ z = 180┬░ тАУ 140┬░ = 40┬░
Hence, x тАУ 115┬░, y = 140┬░ and z тАУ 40┬░
