Frank Solutions for Chapter 18 Rectilinear Figures Class 9 Mathematics ICSE
Exercise 18.1
1. Find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon of:
(i) 7 sides
(ii) 12 sides
(iii) 9 sides
Answer
(i) When n = 7
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (7 – 2)×180°
On further calculation, we get,
= 5×180°
= 900°
(ii) When n = 12
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (12 – 2)×180°
On further calculation, we get,
= 10×180°
= 1800°
(iii) When n = 9
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (9 – 2)×180°
On further calculation, we get,
= 7×180°
= 1260°
2. Find the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon of:
(i) 6 sides
(ii) 10 sides
(iii) 15 sides
Answer
(i) When n = 6
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n – 2)×180°}/n
= {(6 – 2)×180°}/6
On further calculation, we get,
= (4×180°)/6
= 120°
(ii) When n = 10
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n – 2)×180°}/n
= {(10 – 2)×180°}/10
On further calculation, we get,
= (8×180°)/10
= 144°
(iii) When n = 15
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n-2)×180°}/n
= {(15 – 2)×180°}/15
On further calculation, we get,
= (13×180°)/15
= 156°
3. Find each exterior angle of a regular polygon of:
(i) 9 sides
(ii) 15 sides
(iii) 18 sides
Answer
(i) When n = 9
∴ Each exterior angle of a regular polygon = (360°/n)
= (360°/9)
We get,
= 40°
(ii) When n = 15
∴ Each exterior angle of a regular polygon = (360°/n)
= (360°/15)
We get,
= 24°
(iii) When n = 18
∴ Each exterior angle of a regular polygon = (360°/n)
= (360°/18)
We get,
= 20°
4. Find the number of sides in a regular polygon, when each interior angle is:
(i) 120°
(ii) 140°
(iii) 135°
Answer
(i) Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n-2)×180°}/n
{(n - 2)×180°}/n = 120°
On calculating further, we get,
180° (n – 2) = 120° (n)
⇒ 3 (n – 2) = 2n
⇒ 3n – 6 = 2n
⇒ 3n – 2n = 6
We get,
n = 6
(ii) Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n-2) x 180°}/n
{(n – 2)×180°}/n = 140°
On calculating further, we get,
180° (n – 2) = 1400 (n)
⇒ 9 (n – 2) = 7n
⇒ 9n – 18 = 7n
⇒ 9n – 7n = 18
⇒ 2n = 18
We get,
n = 9
(iii) Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n – 2)×180°}/n
{(n – 2)× 180°}/n = 135°
On calculating further, we get,
180° (n – 2) = 135° (n)
⇒ 4 (n – 2) = 3n
⇒ 4n – 8 = 3n
⇒ 4n – 3n = 8
We get,
n = 8
5. Find the number of sides in a regular polygon, when each exterior angle is:
(i) 20°
(ii) 60°
(iii) 72°
Answer
(i) Each exterior angle = (360°/n)
⇒ 360°/n = 20°
We get,
n = 18
(ii) Each exterior angle = (360°/n)
⇒ 360°/n = 60°
We get,
n = 6
(iii) Each exterior angle = (360°/n)
⇒ 360°/n = 72°
We get,
n = 5
6. The angles of a pentagon are 100°, 96°, 74°, 2x°and 3x°. Find the measures of the two angles 2x°and 3x°.
Answer
We know that,
A pentagon has 5 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (5 – 2)×180°
On calculating further, we get,
= 3×180°
We get,
= 540°
Given angles are 100°, 96°, 74°, 2x° and 3x°
∴ 100° + 96° + 74° + 2x° + 3x° = 540°
5x° + 270° = 540°
⇒ 5x° = 540° – 270°
⇒ x° = (540° – 270°)/5
We get,
x° = 54°
Hence,
2x° = 2×54 = 108° and 3x° = 3×54 = 162°
Therefore, the two angles are 108° and 162° respectively.
7. The three angles of a quadrilateral are 71°, 110°, 95°. Find its fourth angle.
Answer
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (4 – 2)×180°
= 2×180°
We get,
= 360°
Given, the three interior angles are 71°, 110°, 95°
Let x be the fourth angle
∴ 71° + 110° + 95° + x = 360°
x + 276° = 360°
We get,
x° = 360° – 276°
We get,
x° = 84°
Hence, the fourth angle is 84°
8. Find the angles of a pentagon which are in the ratio 4: 4: 6: 7: 6.
Answer
A pentagon has 5 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n-2)×180°
= (5 – 2)×180°
= 3×180°
We get,
= 540°
Ratio of the angles are 4x°, 4x°, 6x°, 7x° and 6x°
∴ 4x° + 4x° + 6x° + 7x° + 6x° = 540°
⇒ 27x° = 540°
We get,
x° = 20°
Therefore, the interior angles of a pentagon are 80°, 80°, 120°, 140° and 120°
9. Find the angles of a quadrilateral whose angles are in the ratio 1: 4: 5: 2.
Answer
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (4 – 2)×180°
= 2×180°
We get,
= 360°
Given ratio of the angles = 1: 4: 5: 2
Hence,
The interior angles are x°, 4x°, 5x° and 2x°
x° + 4x° + 5x° + 2x° = 360°
⇒ 12x° = 360°
We get,
x° = 30°
Therefore, the interior angles of the quadrilateral are 30°, 120°, 150° and 60°
10. The angles of a pentagon are x°, (x – 10)°, (x + 20°), (2x – 44)°and (2x – 70)°. Find the angles.
Answer
A pentagon has 5 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (5 – 2)×180°
= 3×180°
We get,
= 540°
Given angles are x°, (x – 10)°, (x + 20)°, (2x – 44)° and (2x – 70)°
∴ x° + (x – 10)° + (x + 20)° + (2x – 44)° + (2x – 70°) = 540°
⇒ 7x° – 104° = 540°
⇒ 7x° = 540° + 104°
⇒ 7x° = 644°
We get,
x° = 92°
Therefore, the interior angles of the pentagon are 92°, 82°, 112°, 140° and 114°
11. The angles of a hexagon are (2x + 5)°, (3x – 5)°, (x + 40)°, (2x + 20)°, (2x + 25)°and (2x + 35)°. Find the value of x.
Answer
A hexagon has 6 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (6 – 2)×180°
= 4×180°
We get,
= 720°
Given angles of a hexagon are (2x + 5)°, (3x – 5)°, (x + 40)°, (2x + 20)°, (2x + 25)° and (2x + 35)°
∴ (2x + 5)° + (3x – 5)° + (x + 40)° + (2x + 20)° + (2x + 25)° + (2x + 35)° = 720°
⇒ 12x + 120° = 720°
We get,
x = 50°
12. One angle of a hexagon is 140°and the remaining angles are in the ratio 4: 3: 4: 5: 4. Calculate the measures of the smallest and the largest angles.
Answer
A hexagon has 6 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (6 – 2)×180°
= 4×180°
We get,
= 720°
One angle of a hexagon is given to be 140°
Ratio of the remaining five angles = 4: 3: 4: 5: 4
∴ The interior angles are 4x°, 3x°, 4x°, 5x° and 4x°
∴ 140° + 4x° + 3x° + 4x° + 5x° + 4x° = 720°
⇒ 20x° + 140° = 720°
⇒ x° = 580°/20
We get,
x° = 29°
Smallest angle is 3x° = 3×29° = 87° and
Largest angle is 5x° = 5×29° = 145°
Therefore, the smallest angle is 87° and the largest angle is 145°
13. One angle of a pentagon is 160°and the rest are all equal angles. Find the measure of the equal angles.
Answer
A pentagon has 5 sides
∴ Sum of interior angles = (n – 2)×180°
= (5 – 2)×180°
= 3×180°
We get,
= 540°
One angle of a pentagon is given to be 160°
Ratio of the remaining four angles = 1: 1: 1: 1
∴ The interior angles are x°, x°, x° and x°
∴ 160° + x° + x° + x° + x° = 540°
⇒ 4x° = 540° – 160°
⇒ 4x° = 380°
We get,
x° = 95°
Therefore, each equal angle is 95°
14. Calculate the measure of each angle of a nonagon.
Answer
A nonagon has 9 sides
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon = {(n – 2)×180°}/n
= {(9 – 2)×180°}/9
= (7×180°)/9
We get,
= 140°
15. Calculate the measure of each angle of a regular polygon of 20 sides.
Answer
Given
n = 20
∴ Each interior angle of the regular polygon = {(n – 2) x 180°}/n
= {(20 – 2)×180°}/20
= (18×180°)/20
We get,
= 162°
