Question -

Compute the value of x in each of the following figures:

(i)


(ii)


(iii)



(iv)



Answer -

In the given problem, we need to find the value of x

(i) In the given ΔABCand  

Now, BCD is a straight line. So, using theproperty, “the angles forming a linear pair are supplementary”, we get,

Similarly, EAC is a straight line. So, we get,

Further, using the angle sum property of a triangle,

In ΔABC

Therefore, 

(ii) In the given ΔABCand 

Here, BCD is a straight line. So, using theproperty, “the angles forming a linear pair are supplementary” we get,

Similarly, EBC is a straight line. So, we get

Further, using the angle sum property of a triangle,

In ΔABC

Therefore, 

(iii) In the given figure,and 

Here,and AD is thetransversal, so form a pair of alternate interiorangles. Therefore, using the property, “alternate interior angles are equal”,we get,

Further, applying angle sum property of the triangle

In ΔDEC

Therefore, 

(iv) In the given figure,,and 

Here, we will produce AD to meet BC at E

Now, using angle sum property of the triangle

In ΔAEB

Further, BEC is a straight line. So, using theproperty, “the angles forming a linear pair are supplementary”, we get,

Also, using the property, “an exterior angle of a triangle isequal to the sum of its two opposite interior angles”

In ΔDECx is its exterior angle

Thus,

Therefore,.
