Question - 1 : -

Write thecomplement of each of the following angles:

(i)200

(ii)350

(iii)900

(iv) 770

(v)300

Answer - 1 : -

(i)┬аThesum of an angle and its complement = 900

Therefore, the complement of 200┬а= 900┬атАУ200┬а= 700

(ii)┬аThesum of an angle and its complement = 900

Therefore, the complement of 35┬░ = 90┬░ тАУ 35┬░ = 55

(iii)┬аThesum of an angle and its complement = 900

Therefore, the complement of 900┬а= 900┬атАУ900┬а= 00

(iv)┬аThesum of an angle and its complement = 900

Therefore, the complement of 770┬а= 90┬░ тАУ 770┬а= 130

(v)┬аThesum of an angle and its complement = 900

Therefore, the complement of 300┬а= 900┬атАУ300┬а= 600

Question - 2 : -

Write thesupplement of each of the following angles:

(i) 540

(ii) 1320

(iii) 1380

Answer - 2 : -

(i)┬аThesum of an angle and its supplement = 1800.

Therefore supplement of angle 540┬а= 1800┬атАУ540┬а= 1260

(ii)┬аThesum of an angle and its supplement = 1800.

Therefore supplement of angle 1320┬а= 1800┬атАУ1320┬а= 480

(iii)┬аThesum of an angle and its supplement = 1800.

Therefore supplement of angle 1380┬а= 1800┬атАУ1380┬а= 420

Question - 3 : -

If an angle is 280┬аlessthan its complement, find its measure?

Answer - 3 : -

Let the measure of any angle is тАШ a тАШ degrees

Thus, its complement will be (90 тАУ a)┬а0

So, the required angle = Complement of a тАУ 28

a = ( 90 тАУ a ) тАУ 28

2a = 62

a = 31

Hence, the angle measured is 310.

Question - 4 : -

If an angle is 30┬░more than one half of its complement, find the measure of the angle?

Answer - 4 : -

Let an angle measured by тАШ a тАШ in degrees

Thus, its complement will be (90 тАУ a)┬а0

Required Angle = 300┬а+complement/2

a = 300┬а+ (90 тАУ a )┬а0┬а/ 2

a + a/2 = 300┬а+ 450

3a/2 = 750

a = 500

Therefore, the measure of required angle is 500.

Question - 5 : -

Two supplementaryangles are in the ratio 4:5. Find the angles?

Answer - 5 : -

Two supplementary angles are in the ratio 4:5.

Let us say, the angles are 4a and 5a (in degrees)

Since angle are supplementary angles;

Which implies, 4a + 5a = 1800

9a = 1800

a = 200

Therefore, 4a = 4 (20) = 800┬аand

5(a) = 5 (20) = 1000

Hence, required angles are 80┬░ and 1000.

Question - 6 : -

Two supplementaryangles differ by 480. Find the angles?

Answer - 6 : -

Given: Two supplementary angles differ by 480.

Consider a0┬аbeone angle then its supplementary angle will be equal to (180 тАУ a)┬а0

According to the question;

(180 тАУ a ) тАУ x = 48

(180 тАУ 48 ) = 2a

132 = 2a

132/2 = a

Or a = 660

Therefore, 180 тАУ a = 1140

Hence, the two angles are 660┬аand1140.

Question - 7 : -

An angle is equalto 8 times its complement. Determine its measure?

Answer - 7 : -

Given: Required angle = 8 times of its complement

Consider a0┬аbeone angle then its complementary angle will be equal to (90 тАУ a)┬а0

According to the question;

a = 8 times of its complement

a = 8 ( 90 тАУ a )

a = 720 тАУ 8a

a + 8a = 720

9a = 720

a = 80

Therefore, the required angle is 800.
