Exercise 8.4 Solutions

1. In below fig, AB, CD and ∠1 and ∠2 are in the ratio 3 : 2. Determine all angles from 1 to 8. 

Solution

2. In the below fig, l, m and n are parallel lines intersected by transversal P at X, Y and Z respectively. Find ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3. 
Solution
From the given figure: 

3. In the below fig, AB||CD||EF and GH|| KL. Find ∠HKL 
Solution
Produce LK to meet GF at N. 
Now, alternative angles are equal 

4. In the below fig, show that AB||EF. 
Solution 
Produce EF to intersect AC at K. 
Now, ∠DCE + ∠CEF = 35 + 145 = 180 
∴ EF || CD  [∵ Sum of Co - interior angles is 180°] ...(1) 
Now, ∠BAC = ∠ACD = 57°
⇒BA || CD  [∵ Alternative angles are equal]
From (1) and (2) 
AB || EF  [Lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other]
Hence, proved. 

5. If below fig, if AB || CD and CD || EF, find ∠ACE. 
Solution
Since EF || CD 
∴ ∠EFC + ∠ECD = 180°  [co- interior angles are supplementary]
⇒ ∠ECD = 180° - 130° = 50°
Also BA || CD
⇒ ∠BAC = ∠ACD = 70°  [alternative angles]
But 
∠ACE + ∠ECD = 70° 
⇒ ∠ACE = 70° - 50° = 20° 

6. In the below fig, PQ||AB are PR ||BC. If ∠QPR = 102° , ∠ABC. Give reasons. 
Solution
AB is produce to meet PR at K 
Since PQ || AB
∠QPR = ∠BKR = 102°  [corresponding angles]
Since PR || BC
∴ ∠RKB + ∠CBK = 180°  [∵ corresponding angles are supplementary]
⇒ ∠CKB = 108 - 102 = 78°
∴ ∠CKB = 78°

7. In the below fig, state which lines are parallel and why ?
Solution
Vertically opposite angles are equal 
∠EOC = ∠DOK = 100°
Angle ∠DOK = ∠ACO = 100°
Here two lines EK and CA cut by a third line 'l' and the corresponding angles to it are equal 
∴ EK || AC. 

8. In the below fig, if  l || m, n || p and ∠1 = 85° , find ∠2. 
Solution
Corresponding angles are equal 
∠1 = ∠3 = 85°
By using the property of co-interior angles are supplementary 
∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
⇒ ∠2 + 55° = 180° 
⇒ ∠2 = 95° 
∴ ∠2 = 95°

9. If two straight lines are perpendicular to the same line, prove that they are parallel to each other. 
Solution
Given m perpendicular t and l ⊥ t 
∠1 = ∠2 = 90
 and m are two lines and it is transversal and the corresponding angles are equal 
l || m
Hence, proved 

10. Prove that if the to arms of an angle are perpendicular to the two arms of another angle, then the angles are either equal or supplementary. 
Solution
Consider be angles AOB and ACB 
Given OA ⊥ AO, OB ⊥ BO
To prove : ∠AOB = ∠ACB (or) 
∠AOB + ∠ACB = 180°
Proof : - In a quadrilateral     [Sum of angles of quadrilateral]

11. In the below fig, lines AB and CD are parallel and P is any point as shown in the figure. Show that ∠ABP + ∠CDP = ∠DPB. 
Solution

12. In the below fig, AB || CD and P is any point shown in the figure. Prove that : 
∠ABP + ∠BPD + ∠CDP = 360°
Solution
Through P, draw a line PM parallel to AB or CD. 
Now, 
AB || PM
⇒ ∠ABP + ∠BPM = 180°
And 
CD || PM
⇒ ∠MPD + ∠CDP = 180°
Adding (i) and (ii), we get 
∠ABP + (∠BPM + ∠MPD) + ∠CDP = 360°
⇒∠ABP + ∠BPD + ∠CDP = 360°  

13. Two unequal angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 2 : 3. Find all its angles in degrees. 
Solution

14. If each of the two lines is perpendicular to the same line, what kind of lines are they to each other ? 
Solution 

15. In the below fig, ∠1 = 60° and ∠2 = (2/3)rd of a right angle. Prove that l || m. 
Solution°
Given
∠1 = 60°, ∠2 = (2/3)rd to right angle 
To prove : parallel to m 
Proof ∠1 = 60°
∠2 = 2/3 ×90° = 60° 
Since, ∠1 = ∠2 = 60°
∴ Parallel to m as pair of corresponding angles are equal 

16. In the below fig, if l || m || n and ∠1 = 60° , find ∠2.
Solution
Since  parallel to m and p is the transversal 
∴ Given: l || m || n, ∠1 = 60°
To find ∠2
∠1 = ∠3 = 60° [Corresponding angles]
Now, 
∠3 and ∠4 are linear pair of angles 
∠3 + ∠4 = 180° 
⇒ 60° + ∠4 = 180° 
⇒ ∠4 = 180° - 60° 
⇒ ∠4 = 120° 
Also, m || n and P is the transversal 
∴ ∠4 = ∠2 = 120° [Alternative interior angle]
Hence ∠2 = 120°

17. Prove that the straight lines perpendicular to the same straight line are parallel to one another.
Solution
Let AB and CD perpendicular to the line MN
∠ABD = 90° [ ∵ AB ⊥ MN] ...(i) 
∠CON  = 90° [∵ CD ⊥ MN]  ...(ii) 
Now, 
∠ABD = ∠CDN = 90°  [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ AB || CD, Since corresponding angles are equal. 

18. The opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel. If one angle of the quadrilateral is 60°, find the other angles. 
Solution

19. Two lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270° , find the measures of ∠AOC, ∠COB, ∠BOD and ∠DOA.

20. In the below fig, p is a transversal to lines m and n, ∠2 = 120° and ∠5 = 60° . Prove that m || n. 
Solution
Given that 
∠2 = 120°, ∠5 = 60°
To prove 
∠2 + ∠1 = 180°  [Linear pair]
⇒ 120° + ∠1= 180°
⇒ ∠1 = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠1 = 60°
Since ∠1 = ∠5 = 60°
∴ m || n  [As pair of corresponding angles are equal]

21. In the below fig, transversal  intersects two lines m and n, ∠4 = 110° and ∠7 = 65 . Is m || n  ? 
Solution
Given, 
∠4 = 110° , ∠7 = 65°
To find : Is m || n
Here, ∠7 =∠5 = 65°  [Vertically opposite angle]
Now, 
∠4 + ∠5 = 110 + 65 = 175°
∴ m is not parallel  to n as the pair of co - interior angles is not supplementary. 

22. Which pair of lines in the below fig, is parallel ? Given reasons. 
Solution
∠A + ∠B = 115 + 65 = 180°
∴ AB || BC  [As sum of co-interior angles we supplementary]
∠B + ∠C  = 65° + 115° = 180°
∴ AB || CD  [As sum of interior angles are supplementary]

23. If l, m, n are three lines such that l || m and n ⊥ l , prove that n ⊥ m. 
Solution
Given l || m, n perpendicular
To prove : n ⊥ m
Since  l || m and n intersects them at G and H respectively 
∴ ∠1 = ∠2  [Corresponding angles]
But, U = 90° [n ⊥ l]
⇒ ∠2 = 90°
Hence, n perpendicular m 

24. In the below fig, arms BA and BC of ∠ABC are respectively parallel to arms ED and EF of ∠DEF. Prove that ∠ABC = ∠DEF. 
Solution
Given AB || DE and BC || EF
To prove : ∠ABC = ∠DEF 
Construction : Produce BC to x such that it intersect DE at M. 
Proof :  Since AB || DE and BX is the transversal 
∴ ∠ABC = ∠DMX  [Corresponding angle] ...(i) 
Also, 
BX || EF and DE is the transversal 
∴ ∠DMX = ∠DEF  [Corresponding angles]
From (i) and (ii) 
∴ ∠ABC = ∠DEF 

25. In the below fig, arms BA and BC of ∠ABC are respectively parallel to arms ED and EF of ∠DEF. Prove that ∠ABC + ∠DEF = 180° .
Solution
Given AB || DE, BC || EF
To prove : ∠ABC + ∠DEF = 180° 
Construction : produce BC to intersect DE at M 
Proof : Since AB || EM and BL is the transversal 
∠ABC = ∠EML  [Corresponding angle]
Also, 
EF ||  ML and EM is the transversal 
By the property of co-interior angles are supplementary 
∠DEF + ∠EML  = 180° 
From (i) and (ii) we have 
∴ ∠DEF + ∠ABC = 180°
