Exercise 9.1
Question 1.

In a Δ ABC, if ∠A = 55°, ∠B = 40°, find ∠C


Answer:

Given, ∠A = 55o

∠B = 40o and ∠C =?


We know that, In sum of all angles of triangle is 180o


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


55o + 40o + ∠C = 180o


95o + ∠C = 180o


∠C = 85o



Question 2.

If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, determine three angles.


Answer:

Given that the angles of the triangle are in ratio 1 : 2 : 3

Let, the angles be a, 2a, 3a


Therefore, we know that


Sum of all angles if triangle is 180o


a + 2a + 3a = 180o


6a = 180o


a =


a = 30o


Since, a = 30o


2a = 2 (30o) = 60o


3a = 3 (30o) = 90o


Therefore, angles are a = 30o, 2a = 60o and 3a = 90o


Hence, angles are 30o, 60o and 90o.



Question 3.

The angles of a triangle are (x-40)°, (x-20)° and. Find the value of x.


Answer:

Given that,

The angles of the triangle are (x – 40o), (x – 20o) and ( – 10o)


We know that,


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180o.


Therefore,


x – 40o + x – 20o + – 10o = 180o


2x + – 70o = 180o


= 250o


5x = 250o * 2


5x = 500o


x = 100o


Therefore, x = 100o



Question 4.

The angles of a triangle are arranged ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find the three angles.


Answer:

Given that,

The difference between two consecutive angles is 10o.


Let, x, x + 10 and x + 20 be the consecutive angles differ by 10o.


We know that,


x + x + 10 + x + 20 = 180o


3x + 30o = 180o


3x = 180o – 30o


3x = 150o


x = 50o


Therefore, the required angles are:


x = 50o


x + 10 = 50o + 10o


= 60o


x + 20 = 50o + 20o


= 70o


The difference between two consecutive angles is 10o then three angles are 50o, 60o and 70o.



Question 5.

Two angles of a triangle are equal and the third angle is greater than each of those angles by 30°. Determine all the angles of the triangle.


Answer:

Given that,

Two angles are equal and third angle is greater than each of those angles by 30o.


Let, x, x, x + 30o be the angles of the triangle.


We know that,


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180o


x + x + x + 30o = 180o


3x + 30o = 180o


3x = 180o – 30o


3x = 150o


x = 50o


Therefore,


The angles are:


x = 50o


x = 50o


x + 30o = 50o + 30o


= 80o


Therefore, the required angles are 50o, 50o, 80o.



Question 6.

If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is a right triangle.


Answer:

If one of the angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of other two.

i.e. ∠B = ∠A + ∠C


Now, in


Sum of all angles of triangle is 180o


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠B + ∠B = 180o [Therefore, ∠A + ∠C = ∠B]


2∠B = 180o


∠B = 90o


Therefore, ABC is right angled triangle.



Question 7.

ABC is a triangle in which ∠A = 72°, the internal bisectors of angles B and C meet in O. Find the magnitude of ∠BOC.


Answer:

Given,

ABC is a triangle


∠A = 72o and internal bisectors of B and C meet O.


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


72o + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠B + ∠C = 180o – 72o


∠B + ∠C = 108o


Divide both sides by 2, we get


+ =


+ = 54o


∠OBC + ∠OCB = 54o (i)


Now, in


∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180o


54o + ∠BOC = 180o [Using (i)]


∠BOC = 180o – 54o


= 126o



Question 8.

The bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.


Answer:

In sum of all angles of a triangle is 180o

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


Divide both sides by 2, we get


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 90o [Therefore, OB, OC bisects ∠B and ∠C]


∠OBC + ∠OCB = 90o - ∠A


Now, in


∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180o


∠BOC + 90o - ∠A = 180o


∠BOC = 90o - ∠A


Hence, bisector open base angle cannot enclose right angle.



Question 9.

If the bisectors of the base angles of a triangle enclose an angle of 135°, prove that the triangle is a right triangle.


Answer:

Given bisector og the base angles of a triangle enclose an angle of 135o

i.e. ∠BOC = 135o


But,


135o = 90o + ∠A


∠A = 135o – 90o


∠A = 45o (2)


= 90o


Therefore, is right angled triangle right angled at A.



Question 10.

In a Δ ABC, ∠ABC =∠ACB and the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB intersect at O such that ∠BOC = 120°. Shoe that ∠A =∠B =∠C = 60°.


Answer:

Given,


∠ ABC = ∠ ACB


Divide both sides by 2, we get


∠ABC = ∠ACB


∠OBC = ∠OCB [Therefore, OB, OC bisects ∠B and ∠C]


Now,


∠BOC = 90o + ∠A


120o – 90o = ∠A


30o * 2 = ∠A


∠A = 60o


Now in


∠A + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o [Sum of all angles of a triangle]


60o + 2∠ABC = 180o [Therefore, ∠ABC = ∠ACB]


2∠ABC = 180o – 60o


2∠ABC = 120o


∠ABC = 60o


Therefore, ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 60o


Hence, proved



Question 11.

Can a triangle have:

(i) Two right angles?

(ii) Two obtuse angles?

(iii) Two acute angles?

(iv) All angles more than 60°?

(v) All angles less than 60°?

(vi) All angles equal to 60°?

Justify your answer in each case.


Answer:

(i) No, two right angles would up to 180o so the third angle becomes zero. This is not possible. Therefore, the triangle cannot have two right angles.

(ii) No, a triangle can’t have two obtuse angles as obtuse angle means more than 90o. So, the sum of the two sides exceeds more than 180o which is not possible. As the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o.


(iii) Yes, a triangle can have two acute angle as acute angle means less than 90o.


(iv) No, having angles more than 60o make that sum more than 180o which is not possible as the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180o.


(v) No, having all angles less than 60o will make that sum less than 180o which is not possible as the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180o.


(vi) Yes, a triangle can have three angles equal to 60o as in this case the sum of all three is equal to 180o which is possible. This type of triangle is known as equilateral triangle.



Question 12.

If each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is acute angled.


Answer:

Given,

Each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two.


Therefore,


∠A + ∠B + ∠C


∠A + ∠A < ∠A + ∠B + ∠C


2∠A < 180o [Sum of all angles of a triangle]


∠A = 90o


Similarly,


∠B < 90o and ∠C < 90o


Hence, the triangle is acute angled.




Exercise 9.2
Question 1.

The exterior angles, obtained on producing the base of a triangle both ways are 104° and 136°. Find all the angles of the triangle.


Answer:

Let, ABC be a triangle and base BC produced to both sides. Exterior angles are ∠ABD and ∠ACE.

∠ABD = 104o


∠ACE = 136o


∠ABD + ∠ABC = 180o (Linear pair)


104o + ∠ABC = 180o


∠ABC = 180o – 104o


= 76o


∠ACE + ∠ACB = 180o


136o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 180o – 136o


= 44o


In


∠A + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o


∠A + 76o + 44o = 180o


∠A + 120o = 180o


∠A = 180o – 120o


= 60o


Thus, angles of triangle are 60o, 76o and 44o.



Question 2.

In a ΔABC, the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at P and the external bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at Q. Prove that ∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180°.


Answer:

Given that ABC is a triangle.

BP and CP are internal bisector of ∠B and ∠C respectively


BQ and CQ are external bisector of ∠B and ∠C respectively.


External ∠B = 180o - ∠B


External ∠C = 180o - ∠C


In


∠BPC + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠BPC = 180o - (∠B + ∠C) (i)


In


∠BQC + (180o - ∠B) + (180o - ∠C) = 180o


∠BQC + 180o - (∠B + ∠C) = 180o


∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180o [From (i)]


Hence, proved



Question 3.

In Fig. 9.30, the sides BC, CA and AB of a Δ ABC have been produced to D, E and F respectively. If ∠ACD = 105° and ∠EAF = 45°, find all the angles of the Δ ABC.



Answer:

Given,

∠ACD = 105o


∠EAF = 45o


∠EAF = ∠BAC (Vertically opposite angle)


∠BAC = 45o


∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180o (Linear pair)


105o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 180o – 105o


= 75o


In


∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o


45o + ∠ABC + 75o = 180o


∠ABC = 180o – 120o


= 60o


Thus, all three angles of a triangle are 45o, 60o and 75o.



Question 4.

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

(i)



(ii)



(iii)



(iv)



Answer:

(i) ∠DAC + ∠BAC = 180o (Linear pair)

120o + ∠BAC = 180o


∠BAC = 180o – 120o


= 60o


And,


∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180o


112o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 68o


In ABC,


∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180o


60o + 68o + x = 180o


128o + x = 180o


x = 180o – 128o


= 52o


(ii) ∠ABE + ∠ABC = 180o (Linear pair)


120o + ∠ABC = 180o


∠ABC = 60o


∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180o (Linear pair)


110o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 70o


In


∠A + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180o


x + 70o + 60o = 180o


x + 130o = 180o


x = 50o


(iii) AB ‖ CD and AD cuts them so,


∠BAE = ∠EDC (Alternate angles)


∠EDC = 52o


In


∠EDC + ∠ECD + ∠CEO = 180o


52o + 40o + x = 180o


92o + x = 180o


x = 180o – 92o


= 88o


(iv) Join AC


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


(35o + ∠1) + 45o + (50o + ∠2) = 180o


130o + ∠1 + ∠2 = 180o


∠1 + ∠2 = 50o


In


∠1 + ∠2 + ∠D = 180o


50o + x = 180o


x = 180o – 50o


= 130o



Question 5.

In Fig. 9.35, AB divides ∠DAC in the ratio 1: 3 and AB =DB. Determine the value of x.



Answer:

Given,

AB divides ∠DAC in the ratio 1: 3


∠DAB: ∠BAC = 1: 3


∠DAC + ∠EAC = 180o


∠DAC + 108o = 180o


∠DAC = 180o – 108o


= 72o


∠DAB = * 72o = 18o


∠BAC = * 72o = 54o


In


∠DAB + ∠ADB + ∠ABD = 180o


18o + 18o + ∠ABD = 180o


36o + ∠ABD = 180o


∠ABD = 180o – 36o


= 144o


∠ABD + ∠ABC = 180o (Linear pair)


144o + ∠ABC = 180o


∠ABC = 180o – 144o


= 36o


In


∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o


54o + 36o + x = 180o


90o + x = 180o


x = 180o – 90o


= 90o


Thus, x = 90o



Question 6.

ABC is a triangle. The bisector of the exterior angle at B and the bisector of ∠C intersect each other at D. Prove that ∠D = A.


Answer:



Exterior ∠B = (180o - ∠B)

Exterior ∠C = (180o - ∠C)


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


(∠A + ∠B + ∠C) = 180o


(∠B + ∠C) = 180o - ∠A (i)


In


∠D + ∠DBC + ∠DCB = 180o


∠D + {180o - (180o - ∠B) - ∠B} + {180o - (180o - ∠C) - ∠C} = 180o


∠D + 360o – 90o – 90o – (∠B + ∠C) = 180o


∠D + 180o – 90o - ∠A = 180o


∠D = ∠A


Hence, proved


Question 7.

In Fig. 9.36, ACCE and ∠A : ∠B :∠C = 3:2:1, find the value of ∠ECD.



Answer:

Given,

AC is perpendicular to CE


∠A: ∠B: ∠C = 3: 2: 1


Let,


∠A = 3k


∠B = 2k


∠C = k


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


3k + 2k + k = 180o


6k = 180o


k = 30o


Therefore,


∠A = 3k = 90o


∠B = 2k = 60o


∠C = k = 30o


Now,


∠C + ∠ACE + ∠ECD = 180o (Linear pair)


30o + 900 + ∠ECD = 180o


∠ECD = 180o – 120o


= 60o



Question 8.

In Fig. 9.37, AMBC and AN is the bisector of ∠A. If ∠B =65° and ∠C =33°, find ∠MAN.



Answer:

Given,

AM perpendicular to BC


AN is bisector of ∠A


Therefore, ∠NAC = ∠NAB


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + 65o + 33o = 180o


∠A = 180o – 98o


= 82o


∠NAC = ∠NAB = 41o (Therefore, AN is bisector of ∠A)


In


∠AMB + ∠MAB + ∠ABM = 180o


90o + ∠MAB + 65o = 180o


∠MAB + 155o = 1800


∠MAB = 25o


Therefore,


∠MAB + ∠MAN = ∠BAN


25o + ∠MAN = 41o


∠MAN = 41o – 25o


= 16o



Question 9.

In a Δ ABC, AD bisects ∠A and ∠C >∠B. Prove that ∠ADB >∠ADC.


Answer:

Given,

AB bisects ∠A (∠DAB = ∠DAC)


∠C > ∠B


In ,


∠ADB + ∠DAB + ∠B = 180o (i)


In ,


∠ADC + ∠DAC + ∠C = 180o (ii)


From (i) and (ii), we get


∠ADB + ∠DAB + ∠B = ∠ADC + ∠DAC + ∠C


∠ADB > ∠ADC (Therefore, ∠C > ∠B)


Hence, proved



Question 10.

In Δ ABC, BDAC and CEAB. If BD and CE intersect at O, prove that ∠BOC = 180° - A.


Answer:



Given,

BD perpendicular to AC


And,

In


∠E + ∠B + ∠ECB = 180o


90o + ∠B + ∠ECB = 180o


∠B + ∠ECB = 90o


∠B = 90o - ∠ECB .....(i)


In


∠D + ∠C + ∠DBC = 180o


90o + ∠C + ∠DBC = 180o


∠C + ∠DBC = 90o


∠C = 90o - ∠DBC .....(ii)


Adding (i) and (ii), we get


∠B + ∠C = 180o (∠ECB + ∠DBC)


∠180o - ∠A = 180o (∠ECB + ∠DBC)


∠A = ∠ECB + ∠DBC


∠A = ∠OCB + ∠OBC


(Therefore, ∠ECB = ∠OCB and ∠DCB = ∠OCB) .... (iii)


In


∠BOC + (∠OBC + ∠OCB) = 180o


∠BOC + ∠A = 180o [From (iii)]


∠BOC = 180o - ∠A


Hence, proved


Question 11.

In Fig. 9.38, AE bisects ∠CAD and ∠B =∠C. Prove that AE||BC.



Answer:

Given,

AE bisects ∠CAD


∠B = ∠C


In


∠CAD = ∠B + ∠C


∠CAD = ∠C + ∠C


∠CAD = 2∠C


∠1 + ∠2 = 2∠C (Therefore, ∠CAD = ∠1 + ∠2)


∠2 + ∠2 = 2∠C (Therefore, AE bisects ∠CAD)


2∠2 = 2∠C


∠2 = ∠C (Alternate angles)


Therefore, AE ‖ BC


Hence, proved



Question 12.

In Fig. 9.39, AB||DE. Find ∠ACD.



Answer:

Since,

AB ‖ DE


∠ABC = ∠CDE (Alternate angles)


∠ABC = 40o


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180o


30o + 40o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 180o – 70o


= 110o (i)


Now,


∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180o (Linear pair)


∠ACD + 110o = 180o [From (i)]


∠ACD = 180o – 110o


= 70o


Hence, ∠ACD = 70o.

A. 90°

B. 45°

C. 60°

D. 30°


Answer:

Let,

A, B and C be the angles of


A = B = C (Given)


We know that,


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + ∠A + ∠A = 180o


3∠A = 180o


∠A = 60o


Therefore,


∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60o


Thus, each angle is equal to 60o.


Question 2.

Define a triangle.


Answer:

A plane figure with three straight sides and three angles.



Question 3.

If two acute angles of a right triangle are equal, then each is equal to

B. 45°

C. 60°

D. 90°


Answer:

Given that the triangle is acute.

So, ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 be the angles of the triangle.


∠1 = 90o (Given)


∠2 = ∠3


We know that,


∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180o


90o + ∠2 + ∠2 = 180o


2∠2 = 180o – 90o


∠2 = 45o


Therefore, ∠2 = ∠3 = 45o


Thus, each acute angle is equal to 45o.


Question 4.

Answer:

In BOC,

∠BOC + ∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180°


∠BOC + 1/2 × (80) + 1/2 × (40) = 180°


∠BOC = 180° -70o


∠BOC = 110°



Question 6.

A. 80°

B. 75°

C. 60°

D. 90°


Answer:

By exterior angle theorem:

∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B


120o = ∠A + ∠A


120o =


240o = 3∠A


∠A = 80o


Question 9.

If the angles A, B and C of Δ ABC satisfy the relation BA = CB, then find the measure of ∠B.


Answer:

Given,

In ABC,


B - A = C - B


B + B = A + C


2B = A + C (i)


Now,


A + B + C = 180°


B = 180 - (A + C) (ii)


Using (i) in (ii), we get


B = 180 - 2B


3B = 180°


B = 60°



Question 10.

In Δ ABC, if bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB intersect at O angle of 120°, then find the measure of ∠A.


Answer:

In

∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180o


120o + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


(∠B + ∠C) = 60o


∠B + ∠C = 120o (i)


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + 120o = 180o [From (i)]


∠A = 60o



Question 11.

In Δ ABCB= ∠C and ray AX bisects the exterior angle ∠DAC. If ∠DAX =70°, then ∠ACB =
A. 35°

B. 90°

C. 70°

D. 55°


Answer:

AX bisects ∠DAC

∠CAD = 2 * ∠DAC


∠CAD = 2 * 70o


= 140o


By exterior angle theorem,


∠CAD = ∠B + ∠C


140o = ∠C + ∠C (Therefore, ∠B = ∠C)


140o = 2∠C


∠C = 70o


Therefore, ∠C = ∠ACB = 70o


Question 12.

State exterior angle theorem.


Answer:

A. 55°

B. 85°

C. 40°

D. 9.0°


Answer:

We know that,

In a triangle an exterior angle is equal to sum of two interior opposite angle.


Let, the required interior opposite angle be x.


x + 55o = 95o


x = 95o – 55o


= 40o


Thus, other interior angle is 40o.


Question 14.

If the sides of a triangle are produced in order, then the sum of the three exterior angles so formed is
A. 90°

B. 180°

C. 270°

D. 360°


Answer:

Let, ABC be a triangle and AB, BC and AC produced to D, E and F respectively.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o (i)


∠CBD = ∠C + ∠A (Exterior angle theorem) (ii)


∠ACE = ∠A + ∠B (Exterior angle theorem) (iii)


∠BAF = ∠B + ∠C (Exterior angle theorem) (iv)


Adding (ii), (iii) and (iv) we get


∠CBD + ∠ACE + ∠BAF = 2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C


∠CBD + ∠ACE + ∠BAF = 2 (∠A + ∠B + ∠C)


∠CBD + ∠ACE + ∠BAF = 2 * 180o


∠CBD + ∠ACE + ∠BAF = 360o


Thus, sum of all three exterior angles is 360o.


Question 15.

If the side BC of Δ ABC is produced on both sides, then write the difference between the sum of the exterior angles so formed and ∠A.


Answer:

Given that,

BC produced on both sides


We know that,


∠A + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o (i)


∠ABD = ∠A + ∠ACB (Exterior angle theorem) (ii)


∠ACE = ∠A + ∠ABC (Exterior angle theorem) (iii)


Adding (ii) and (iii), we get


∠ABD + ∠ACE = ∠A + (∠A + ∠ACB + ∠ACB)


∠ABD + ∠ACE = ∠A + 180o


(∠ABD + ∠ACE) - ∠A = 180o


Thus, between the sum of the exterior angles so formed and ∠A is 180o.



Question 16.

In Δ ABC, if ∠A = 100° AD bisects ∠A and AD⊥BC. Then, ∠B =
A. 50°

C. 40°

D. 100°


Answer:

Given,

AD perpendicular to BC


∠A = 100o


In ,


∠ADB + ∠B + ∠DAC = 180o


90o + ∠B + ∠A = 180o


∠B + * 100o = 180o – 90o


∠B + 50o = 90o


∠B = 40o


Question 17.

In a triangle ABC, if AB = AC and AB is produced to D such that BD = BC, find ∠ACD: ∠ADC.


Answer:

Given,

AB = AC and,


BD = BC


∠2 = ∠3 (Since, AB = AC)


∠4 = ∠5 (Since, BD = BC)


= (i)


In


∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5


∠2 = 2∠4 (Since, ∠4 = ∠5)


∠3 = 2∠4 (Since, ∠3 = ∠2)


=


=


Thus, ∠ACD: ∠ADC = 3: 1



Question 18.

The sum of two angles of a triangle is equal to its third angle. Determine the measure of the third angle.


Answer:

Let,

∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 be the angles of a triangle.


∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 (Given) (i)


We know that,


∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180o


∠3 + ∠3 = 180o [From (i)]


2∠3 = 180o


∠3 = 90o


Thus, third angle is 90o.



Question 19.

An exterior angle of a triangle is 108° and its interior opposite angles are in the ratio 4 : 5. The angles of the triangle are
A. 48°, 60°, 72°

B. 50°, 60°, 70°

C. 52°, 56°, 72°

D. 42°, 60°, 76°


Answer:

Let ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 be the angles of the triangle and ∠4 be its exterior angle.

∠4 = 1080 (Given)


∠1: ∠2 = 4: 5 (Given)


Let, ∠1 = 4k


∠2 = 5k


Now,


∠1 + ∠2 = 108o (Exterior angle theorem)


4k + 5k = 108o


9k = 108o


k = 12o


Thus,


∠1 = 4 * 12 = 48o


∠2 = 5 * 12 = 60o


We know that,


∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180o


48o + 60o + ∠3 = 180o


108o + ∠3 = 180o


∠3 = 180o – 108o


= 72o


Thus, angles of triangle are 48o, 60o, 72o.


Question 20.

In Fig. 9.40, if AB||CD, EF||BC, ∠BAC = 65° and ∠DHF = 35°, find ∠AGH.



Answer:

Given,

AB ‖ CD and,


EF ‖ BC


∠BAC = 65o and ∠DHF = 35o


∠BAC = ∠ACD (Alternate angles)


∠ACD = 65o


∠DHF = ∠GHC (Vertically opposite angles)


∠GHC = 35o


In


∠GCH + ∠GHC + ∠HGC = 180o


65o + 35o + ∠HGC = 180o


∠HGC = 80o


∠AGH + ∠HGC = 180o (Linear pair)


∠AGH + 80o = 180o


∠AGH = 100o



Question 21.

In a Δ ABC, If ∠A = 60°, ∠B =80° and the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O, then ∠BOC=
A. 60°

C. 150°

D. 30°


Answer:

In

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


60o + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠B + ∠C = 120o


∠B + ∠C = 60o (i)



∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180o


∠BOC + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠BOC + (∠B + ∠C) = 180o


∠BOC + 60o = 180o [From (i)]


∠BOC = 120o


Question 22.

In Fig. 9.41, if AB || DE and BD || FG such that ∠FGH = 125° and ∠B = 55°, find a and y.



Answer:

Given,

AB || DE and,


BD || FG


∠FGH + ∠FGE = 180o (Linear pair)


125o + y = 180o


y = 55o


∠ABC = ∠BDE (Alternate angles)


∠BDF = ∠EFG = 55o (Alternate angles)


∠EFG + ∠FEG = 125o (By exterior angle theorem)


55o + ∠FEG = 125o


∠FEG = x = 70o


Thus, x = 70o and y = 55o.



Question 23.

If the bisectors of the acute angles of a right triangle meet at O, then the angle at O between the two bisectors is
A. 45°

B. 95°

C. 135°

D. 90°


Answer:

Let ABC is an acute angled triangle.

∠B = 90o


We know that,


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + 90o + ∠C = 180o


∠A + ∠C = 90o (i)


In


∠AOC + ∠ACD + ∠CAD = 180o


∠AOC + ∠C + ∠A = 180o


∠AOC + (∠A + ∠C) = 180o


∠AOC + * 90o = 180o [From (i)]


∠AOC + 45o = 180o


∠AOC = 180o – 45o


= 135o


Thus, the angle at O between two bisectors is equal to 135o.


Question 24.

Line segments AB and CD intersect at O such that AC || DB. If ∠CAB = 45° and ∠CDB =55°, then ∠BOD =

D. 135°


Answer:

AC ‖ BD

∠CAD = 45o


∠CDB = 55o


∠2 = ∠CAD (Alternate angle)


∠2 = 45o


In


∠BOD + ∠2 + ∠CDB = 180o


∠BOD + 45o + 55o = 180o


∠BOD + 100o = 180o


∠BOD = 180o – 100o


= 80o


Question 25.

In Fig. 9.42, side BC of Δ ABC is produced to point D such that bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at a point E. If ∠BAC = 68°, find ∠BEC.



Answer:

By exterior angle theorem,

∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B


∠ACD = 68o + ∠B


∠ACD = 34o + ∠B


34o = ∠ACD - ∠EBC (i)


Now,


In


∠ECD = ∠EBC + ∠E


∠E = ∠ECD - ∠EBC


∠E = ∠ACD - ∠EBC (ii)


From (i) and (ii), we get


∠E = 34o



Question 26.

If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2: 1: 3, then find the measure of smallest angle.


Answer:

Let,

∠1 = 2k, ∠2 = k and ∠3 = 3k

The bisectors of exterior angles at B and C of Δ ABC meet at O, if ∠A= x°, then BOC =
A. 90°+

B. 90°-

C. 180°+

D. 180°-


Answer:

∠OBC = 180o - ∠B - (180o - ∠B)


∠OBC = 90o - ∠B


And,


∠OCB = 180o - ∠C - (180o - ∠C)


∠OCB = 90o - ∠C


In


∠BOC + ∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180o


∠BOC + 90o - ∠C + 90o - ∠B = 180o


∠BOC = (∠B + ∠C)


∠BOC = (180o - ∠A) [From ]


∠BOC = 90o - ∠A


∠BOC = 90o -


Question 28.

In Δ ABC, ∠A=50° and BC is produced to a point D. If the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at E, then ∠E =
A. 25°

B. 50°

C. 100°

D. 75°


Answer:

In Δ ABC

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


50o + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠B + ∠C = 180o – 50o


∠B + ∠C = 10o (i)


In


∠E + ∠BCE + ∠EBC = 180o


∠E + 180o – ( ∠ACD) + ∠B = 180o (ii)


By exterior angle theorem,


∠ACD = 50o + ∠B


Putting value of ∠ACD in (ii), we get


∠E + 180o - (50o + ∠B) + ∠B = 180o


∠E – 25o - ∠B + ∠B = 0


∠E – 25o = 0


∠E = 25o

Answer:

Given,

∠ABC = 30o


∠ACD = 115o


By exterior angle theorem,


∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B


115o = ∠A + 30o


∠A = 85o


∠ACD + ∠ACL = 180o (Linear pair)


∠ACL = 65o


In


∠ALC + ∠LAC + ∠ACL = 180o


∠ALC + ∠A + 65o = 180o


∠ALC = 72.5o

∠1 = 70o


∠1 + ∠3 = 180o (Linear pair)


∠3 = 110o


In


∠BOD + ∠OBD + ∠BDO = 180o


∠3 + ∠ODB + 20o = 180o


∠ODB = 50o


Question 31.

In Fig. 9.44, x + y =

∠AOC = ∠DOB (Vertically opposite angle)


∠DOB = 40o


By exterior angle theorem,


In


y = ∠BOD + ∠ODB


= 40o + 70o


= 110o


Now, x + y = 230o

Let,

∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 be the angles of the triangle which are in the ratio 3: 4: 5 respectively.


∠1 = 3k


∠2 = 4k


∠3 = 5k


We know that,


∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180o


3k + 4k + 5k = 180o


k = 15o


So,


∠1 = 3 * 15o = 45o


∠2 = 4 * 15o = 60o


∠3 = 5 * 15o = 75o


Thus, smallest angle is 45o.

D. x+y+360°


Answer:

In given that,

x = ∠A + ∠B (Exterior angles)


z = ∠A (Vertically opposite angles)


y = ∠A + ∠C (Exterior angles)


We know that,


∠A + ∠B + ∠C= 180o


z + x - ∠A + y - ∠A = 180o


-z = 180o – x – y


z = x + y – 180o

x + 2x + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 180o – 3x (i)


In


y + 180o – 3y + ∠ECD = 180o


y + 180o – 3y + 180o - ∠ACB = 180o


y = x


Question 37.

In Fig. 9.49, if l1 || l2, the value of x is


A. 22

B. 30

C. 45

D. 60


Answer:

Since,

l1‖ l2


And PQ cuts them


∠DPQ + ∠PQE = 180o (Consecutive interior angles)


a + a + b + b = 180o


2 (a + b) = 180o


a + b = 90o (i)


In


∠PAQ + a + b = 180o


∠PAQ = 90o


∠PAQ + x + x = 180o (Linear pair)


90o + 2x = 180o


x = 45o


Question 38.

In Fig. 9.50, what is value of x?


A. 35

B. 45

C. 50

D. 60


Answer:

In

∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠CAB = 180o


5y + 3y + x = 180o


8y + x = 180o (i)


∠ABC + ∠CBD = 180o (Linear pair)


5y + 7y = 180o


y = 15o


Putting values of y in (i), we get


8 * 15 + xo = 180o


x = 60o


Question 39.

In Δ RST (See Fig. 9.51), what is value of x ?


A. 40

B. 90°

C. 80°

D. 100


Answer:

In

∠ROT + ∠RTO + ∠TRO = 180o


140o+ b + a = 180o


a + b = 40o (i)


In


∠RST + ∠SRT + ∠STR = 180o


x + a + a + b + b = 180o


x + 2 (a + b) = 180o


x + 80o = 180o


x = 100o


Question 40.

In Fig. 9.52, the value of x is


A. 65°

B. 80°

C. 95°

D. 120°


Answer:

In

∠A + ∠ABD + ∠BDA = 180o


∠ABD = 100o


In


∠EBC + ∠ECB + ∠CEB = 180o


-100o + 40o + ∠CEB = 00


∠CEB = 60o


∠CEB + ∠CED = 180o (Linear pair)


60o + x = 180o


x = 120o


Question 41.

In Fig. 9.53, if BP||CQ and AC=BC, then the measure of x is


A. 20°

B. 25°

C. 30°

D. 35°


Answer:

Given,

BP CQ


And,


AC ‖ BC


∠A = ∠ABC (Since, AC = BC)


In


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o


∠A + ∠A + ∠C = 180o


2∠A + ∠C = 180o (i)


∠ACB + ∠ACQ + ∠QCD = 180o (Linear pair)


∠ACB + x = 110o (ii)


∠PBC + ∠BCQ = 180o (Co. interior angle)


20o + ∠A + ∠ACB + x = 180o


∠A = 50o (iii)


Using (iii) in (i), we get


2 * 50o + ∠ACB = 180o


∠ACB = 80o


Using value of ∠ACB in (ii)l we get


80o + x = 110o


x = 30o


Question 42.

In Fig. 9.54, AB and CD are parallel lines and transversal EF intersects them at P and Q respectively. If ∠APR=25°, ∠RQC=30° and ∠CQF= 65°, then


A. x = 55°, y = 40°

B. x = 50°, y = 45°

C. x = 60°, y = 35°

D. x = 35°, y = 60°


Answer:

Given,

AB ‖ CD


And, EF cuts them


So, 30o + 65o + ∠PQR = 180o


95o + ∠PQR = 180o


∠PQR = 85o


∠APQ + ∠PQC = 180o (Co. interior angle)


25o + y + 85o + 30o = 180o


y = 40o


In


∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR = 180o


85o + x + y = 180o


x = 55o


Thus, x = 55o and y = 40o


Question 43.

The base BC of triangle ABC is produced both ways and the measure of exterior angles formed are 94° and 126°. Then, ∠BAC=
A. 94°

B. 54°

C. 40°

D. 44°


Answer:

Given,

∠ABD = 94o and


∠ACE = 126o


∠ABD + ∠ABC = 180o (Linear pair)


∠ABC = 86o (i)


∠ACE + ∠ACB = 180o (Linear pair)


∠ACB = 54o (ii)


In


∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180o


86o + 54o + ∠BAC = 180o


∠BAC = 40o
