Question - 1 : -

In the given figure, sidesQP and RQ of ΔPQR are produced to points S and T respectively. If ∠SPR = 135º and ∠PQT = 110º, find ∠PRQ.

Answer - 1 : -

It is given that,

∠SPR = 135º and ∠PQT = 110º

∠SPR + ∠QPR = 180º (Linear pair angles)

⇒ 135º + ∠QPR = 180º

⇒ ∠QPR = 45º

Also, ∠PQT + ∠PQR = 180º (Linear pair angles)

⇒ 110º + ∠PQR = 180º

⇒ ∠PQR = 70º

As thesum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180º, therefore, for ΔPQR,

∠QPR + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ =180º

⇒ 45º + 70º + ∠PRQ = 180º

⇒ ∠PRQ = 180º − 115º

⇒ ∠PRQ = 65º

Question - 2 : -

In the given figure, ∠X = 62º, ∠XYZ = 54º. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively of ΔXYZ, find ∠OZY and ∠YOZ.

Answer - 2 : -

As the sum of all interiorangles of a triangle is 180º, therefore, for ΔXYZ,

∠X + ∠XYZ + ∠XZY =180º

62º + 54º+ ∠XZY =180º

∠XZY = 180º − 116º

∠XZY = 64º

∠OZY = = 32º (OZ is the anglebisector of ∠XZY)

Similarly,∠OYZ= = 27º

Usingangle sum property for ΔOYZ, we obtain

∠OYZ + ∠YOZ + ∠OZY =180º

27º + ∠YOZ + 32º = 180º

∠YOZ = 180º − 59º

∠YOZ = 121º

Question - 3 : -

In the given figure, if AB|| DE, ∠BAC = 35ºand ∠CDE =53º, find ∠DCE.


Answer - 3 : -

AB || DE and AE is atransversal.

∠BAC = ∠CED (Alternate interior angles)

∴ ∠CED = 35º

In ΔCDE,

∠CDE + ∠CED + ∠DCE =180º (Angle sum property of a triangle)

53º + 35º+ ∠DCE =180º

∠DCE = 180º − 88º

∠DCE = 92º

Question - 4 : -

In the given figure, iflines PQ and RS intersect at point T, such that ∠PRT = 40º, ∠RPT = 95ºand ∠TSQ =75º, find ∠SQT.

Answer - 4 : -

Using angle sum propertyfor ΔPRT, we obtain

∠PRT + ∠RPT + ∠PTR =180º

40º + 95º+ ∠PTR =180º

∠PTR = 180º − 135º

∠PTR = 45º

∠STQ = ∠PTR = 45º (Vertically opposite angles)

∠STQ = 45º

By usingangle sum property for ΔSTQ, we obtain

∠STQ + ∠SQT + ∠QST =180º

45º + ∠SQT + 75º = 180º

∠SQT = 180º − 120º

∠SQT = 60º

Question - 5 : -

In the given figure, if PQ⊥ PS, PQ|| SR, ∠SQR = 28ºand ∠QRT =65º, then find the values of x and y.

Answer - 5 : -

It is given that PQ || SRand QR is a transversal line.

∠PQR = ∠QRT (Alternate interior angles)

x + 28º = 65º

x = 65º − 28º

x = 37º

By usingthe angle sum property for ΔSPQ, we obtain

∠SPQ + x + y = 180º

90º + 37º+ y = 180º

y = 180º − 127º

y = 53º

x =37º and y = 53º

Question - 6 : - In the given figure, the side QR of ΔPQR is producedto a point S. If the bisectors of ∠PQRand ∠PRS meet at point T, thenprove that ∠QTR=∠QPR.

Answer - 6 : -

In ΔQTR, ∠TRS is an exterior angle.

∠QTR + ∠TQR = ∠TRS

∠QTR = ∠TRS − ∠TQR (1)

For ΔPQR,∠PRS is anexternal angle.

∠QPR + ∠PQR = ∠PRS

∠QPR + 2∠TQR = 2∠TRS (AsQT and RT are angle bisectors)

∠QPR = 2(∠TRS − ∠TQR)

∠QPR = 2∠QTR [By using equation (1)]

∠QTR = ∠QPR
