Math Problem Statement

What is the value of x when two parallel lines form angles of 37° and 58° in a diagram, and solve additional angle-related geometry problems?

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the questions from the image you uploaded.

Question 6:

The figure shows two parallel lines l1l2l_1 \parallel l_2, and we're asked to find the value of xx. From the diagram:

  • There is an angle of 3737^\circ on one side.
  • Another angle of 5858^\circ on the opposite side of xx.

Since l1l2l_1 \parallel l_2, we know that alternate interior angles and corresponding angles are equal. Using the linear pair property:

x=180(37+58)=18095=85x = 180^\circ - (37^\circ + 58^\circ) = 180^\circ - 95^\circ = 85^\circ

Thus, the correct answer is (b) 85°.

Question 7:

If a wheel has six spokes equally spaced, the total degrees in a circle is 360360^\circ. The angle between two adjacent spokes is:

3606=60\frac{360^\circ}{6} = 60^\circ

Thus, the correct answer is (c) 60°.

Question 8:

This question asks which statements are true based on the given figure with angles aa, bb, cc, dd, and ee.

  • Statement (i) a+b=d+ca + b = d + c: This is true because vertically opposite angles are equal.
  • Statement (ii) a+c+e=180a + c + e = 180^\circ: This is true because the sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°.
  • Statement (iii) b+f=c+eb + f = c + e: This is also true because they represent alternate interior angles.

Thus, all statements are correct, and the answer is (d) (ii) and (iii) both.

Question 9:

The angle which is two times its complement is xx. Let the complement of xx be 90x90^\circ - x. According to the problem, x=2(90x)x = 2(90^\circ - x).

Solving this equation: x=1802xx = 180^\circ - 2x 3x=1803x = 180^\circ x=60x = 60^\circ

Thus, the correct answer is (a) 60°.

Question 10:

The angle which is two times its supplement is xx. Let the supplement of xx be 180x180^\circ - x. According to the problem, x=2(180x)x = 2(180^\circ - x).

Solving this equation: x=3602xx = 360^\circ - 2x 3x=3603x = 360^\circ x=120x = 120^\circ

Thus, the correct answer is (d) 120°.


Do you need more details on any of these explanations? Here are 5 related questions to further explore:

  1. What are the properties of parallel lines and angles formed by transversals?
  2. How do you derive the sum of angles in a straight line and around a point?
  3. How do complementary and supplementary angles differ in terms of equations?
  4. What is the geometric significance of spokes in a wheel being equally spaced?
  5. How do vertical and alternate angles relate in geometry?

Tip: For solving problems involving angles and parallel lines, always look for corresponding, alternate interior, and vertically opposite angles to simplify the calculations.
