Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's work through the questions in the image one by one:
Q83: In Fig. 5.43, write all the pairs of supplementary angles.
- Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180°.
In Fig. 5.43:
- ∠5 + ∠6
- ∠3 + ∠4
- ∠7 + ∠8
- ∠2 + ∠1
These are the supplementary angle pairs because they are on a straight line, and their measures sum up to 180°.
Q84: What is the type of other angle of a linear pair if:
-
(a) One of its angles is acute?
- The other angle must be obtuse because an acute angle is less than 90°, and the other must be larger than 90° to sum up to 180°.
-
(b) One of its angles is obtuse?
- The other angle must be acute, as an obtuse angle is more than 90°, and the other angle must be less than 90° to make the total 180°.
-
(c) One of its angles is right?
- The other angle must also be right because a right angle is 90°, and the pair must sum to 180°, meaning both angles are 90°.
Q85: Can two acute angles form a pair of supplementary angles? Give a reason in support of your answer.
- No, two acute angles cannot form a pair of supplementary angles because acute angles are both less than 90°, and their sum would be less than 180°, which is required for supplementary angles.
Q86: Two lines AB and CD intersect at O (Fig. 5.44). Write all the pairs of adjacent angles by taking angles 1, 2, 3, and 4 only.
- Adjacent angles share a common arm.
- ∠1 and ∠2
- ∠2 and ∠3
- ∠3 and ∠4
- ∠4 and ∠1
These are the pairs of adjacent angles.
Q87: If the complement of an angle is 62°, then find its supplement.
- The complement of an angle is what adds to 90°. So the original angle is:
- Now, its supplement is what adds to 180°, so:
The supplement of the angle is 152°.
Q88: A road crosses a railway line at an angle of 30° as shown in Fig. 5.45. Find the values of a, b, and c.
- In this diagram:
- a and 30° are alternate interior angles, so:
- b and c are supplementary since they form a straight line:
- c and a are also equal due to corresponding angles:
So, , , and .
Would you like any more details or have any questions about these solutions? Here are 5 follow-up questions that expand on this:
- How do we calculate supplementary angles for different types of intersecting lines?
- What is the relationship between adjacent angles and supplementary angles?
- Why can two acute angles never be supplementary?
- How can we apply the concept of linear pairs in real-world situations?
- Can two obtuse angles form a pair of supplementary angles? Why or why not?
Tip: Always check the sum of angles in geometry to determine relationships such as supplementary, complementary, or vertical angles!
