Lines And Angles

Class 9th Mathematics Bihar Board Solution

Exercise 6.1
Question 1.

In Fig. 6.13, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If∠ AOC + ∠ BOE = 70° and ∠ BOD = 40°, find∠ BOE and reflex ∠ COE.



Answer:

It is given: ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70o

And, ∠BOD = 40o

Now, according to the question,

∠AOC + ∠BOE + ∠COE = 180o (Sum of linear pair is always 180o )

⇒ 70o + ∠COE = 180o

⇒ ∠COE = 110o ...........(1)

And,

∠COE + ∠BOD + ∠BOE = 180o (Sum of linear pair is always 180o )

putting the value of ∠COE, we get,

110o + 40o + ∠BOE = 180o

150o + ∠BOE = 180o

∴ ∠BOE = 30o

Now, reflex ∠COE = 360o - ∠COE

⇒ reflex ∠COE = 360o - 110o

∴ reflex ∠COE = 250o
Note:
Reflex here means the reflex angles which are greater than 180° but less than 360°.


Question 2.

In Fig. 6.14, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If∠ POY = 90° and a: b = 2 : 3, find c.



Answer:

Given: ∠POY = 90O

a : b = 2 : 3

Now, according to the question,

∠POY + a + b = 180o (Angles made on a straight line are supplementary or sum of angles equals to 180°)


90o + a + b = 180o


a + b = 90o .............eq(1)

Now a:b = 2:3 ............eq(2)

Let a be 2 x and b be 3 x
So putting this value in eq(1),

2x + 3x = 90o

5x = 90o

x = 18o

Hence,


a = 2 x 18o = 36o

And,

b = 3 x 18o = 54o


And,

b + c = 180o (Linear pair)

54o + c = 180o

c = 126o


Question 3.

In Fig. 6.15, ∠ PQR = ∠ PRQ, then prove that ∠ PQS = ∠ PRT.


Answer:


Given: ∠PQR = ∠PRQ

To prove: ∠PQS = ∠PRT
Proof:

Now,

∠PQR + ∠PQS = 180o (Angles on a straight line are supplementary)

⇒ ∠PQR = 180o - ∠PQS ......(i)

Similarly,

∠PRQ + ∠PRT = 180o (Angles on a straight line are supplementary)

⇒ ∠PRQ = 180o - ∠PRT .....(ii)

Now, ∠PQR = ∠PRQ (Given)

Therefore, (i) and (ii) will be equal

180o - ∠PQS = 180o - ∠PRT

∠PQS = ∠PRT

Hence, Proved.


Question 4.

In Fig. 6.16, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.



Answer:

Given: x + y = w + z

To prove,: AOB is a line or x + y = 180° (Linear pair)

Proof:

Now, according to the question,

x + y + w + z = 360o (Angles at a point)

(x + y) + (w + z) = 360°

(Given, x + y = w + z)

2 (x + y) = 360o

(x + y) = 180o

Therefore, x + y makes a linear pair.

And, AOB is a straight line

Hence, Proved.


Question 5.

In Fig. 6.17, POQ is a line. Ray OR is perpendicular to line PQ. OS is another ray lying between rays OP and OR. Prove that ∠ ROS =(∠ QOS –∠ POS).


Answer:


Given: OR is perpendicular to line PQ

To prove: ∠ROS = (∠QOS - ∠POS)

Proof:

Now, according to the question,

∠POR = ∠ROQ = 90° ( ∵ OR is perpendicular to line PQ)

∠QOS = ∠ROQ + ∠ROS = 90° + ∠ROS ............eq(i)

We can write,

∠POS = ∠POR - ∠ROS = 90° - ∠ROS ...............eq(ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get

∠QOS - ∠POS = 90o + ∠ROS – (90° - ∠ROS)

∠QOS - ∠POS = 90o + ∠ROS – 90° + ∠ROS

∠QOS - ∠POS = 2∠ROS

Hence, proved


Question 6.

It is given that ∠ XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. Draw a figure from the given information. If ray YQ bisects ∠ ZYP, find ∠ XYQ and reflex ∠ QYP.


Answer:

Given: ∠XYZ = 64o

YQ bisects ∠ZYP, therefore ∠QYP = ∠QYZ
∠XYZ + ∠ZYP = 180o (Sum of angles made on a straight line = 180º)

64o + ∠ZYP = 180o

∠ZYP = 116o

And,

∠ZYP = ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP

∠ZYQ = ∠QYP (YQ bisects ∠ZYP)

∠ZYP = 2∠ZYQ

2∠ZYQ = 116o

∠ZYQ = 58o = ∠QYP

Now,

∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ

∠XYQ = 64o + 58o

∠XYQ = 122o

And,

Reflex of ∠QYP = 180o + ∠XYQ

∠QYP = 180o + 122o

QYP = 302o



Exercise 6.2
Question 1.

In Fig. 6.28, find the values of x and y and then show that AB || CD.



Answer:

From the figure:

x + 50o = 180o (Linear pair)

x = 180o - 50o

x = 130o

And,


y = 130o (Vertically opposite angles)

Now,


x = y = 130o (Alternate interior angles)

Hence,

The theorem says that when the lines are parallel, that the alternate interior angles are equal. And thus the lines must be parallel.

AB || CD


Question 2.

In Fig. 6.29, if AB || CD, CD || EF and y : z = 3 : 7, Find x.


Answer:

It is given in the question that:

AB || CD,
Thus,
∠x + ∠y = 180° ( Interior angles on same side of transversal ) (1)
Also,
AB || CD and CD || EF

Thus, AB || EF
⇒ ∠x = ∠z ( Alternate interior angles) (2)
From (1) and (2) we can say that,
∠z + ∠y = 180° (3) [Angles will be supplementary]
It is given that,
∠y : ∠z = 3 : 7 (4)
Let ∠y = 3 a and ∠z = 7 a
Putting these values in (2)
3 a + 7 a = 180°
10 a = 180°
a = 18°
∠z = 7 a
∠z = 7 x 18°
∠z = 126°
As ∠z = ∠x
∠x = 126°


Question 3.

In Fig. 6.30, if AB || CD, EF ⊥ CD and∠ GED = 126°, find ∠ AGE, ∠ GEF and ∠ FGE.



Answer:

It is given in the question that:

AB || CD

EF perpendicular CD

∠GED = 126o


Now, according to the question,


∠FED = 90o (EF perpendicular CD)


Now,


∠AGE = ∠GED (Since, AB parallel CD and GE is transversal, hence alternate interior angles)


Therefore,


∠AGE = 126o


And,


∠GEF = ∠GED - ∠FED


∠GEF = 126o – 90o


∠GEF = 36o


Now,


∠FGE + ∠AGE = 180o (Linear pair)


∠FGE = 180o – 126o


∠FGE = 54o


Question 4.

In Fig. 6.31, if PQ || ST, ∠ PQR = 110° and∠ RST = 130°, find ∠ QRS.

[Hint: Draw a line parallel to ST through point R.]



Answer:

It is given in the question that:

PQ parallel ST,


∠PQR = 110o and,


∠RST = 130o


Construction: Draw a line XY parallel to PQ and ST


∠PQR + ∠QRX = 180o (Angles on the same side of transversal)


110o + ∠QRX = 180o


∠QRX = 70o


And,


∠RST + ∠SRY = 180o (Angles on the same side of transversal)


130o + ∠SRY = 180o


∠SRY = 50o


Now,


∠QRX + ∠SRY + ∠QRS = 180o ( Angle made on a straight line)


70o + 50o + ∠QRS = 180o


∠QRS = 60o


Question 5.

In Fig. 6.32, if AB || CD, ∠ APQ = 50° and∠ PRD = 127°, find x and y.



Answer:

It is given in the question that:

AB parallel CD,

∠APQ = 50o and,

∠PRD = 127o

According to question,

x = 50o (Alternate interior angle)

∠PRD + ∠PRQ = 180o (Angles on the straight line are supplementary)

127o + ∠PRQ = 180o

∠PRQ = 53o

Now,

In Δ PQR,

x + y + ∠PRQ = 180o (Sum of interior angles of a triangle)

y + 50o + ∠ PRQ = 180o

y + 50o + 53o = 180o

y + 103o = 180o

y = 77o


Question 6.

In Fig. 6.33, PQ and RS are two mirrors placed parallel to each other. An incident ray AB strikes the mirror PQ at B, the reflected ray moves along the path BC and strikes the mirror RS at C and again reflects back along CD. Prove that AB || CD.



Answer:

Given: Two mirrors are parallel to each other, PQ||RS
To Prove: AB || CD
Proof:

Take two perpendiculars BE and CF, As the mirrors are parallel to each other their perpendiculars will also be parallel thus BE || CF

According to laws of reflection, we know that:

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

∠1 = ∠2 and,

∠3 = ∠4 (i)

And,

∠2 = ∠3 (Alternate interior angles, since BE, is parallel to CF and a trasversal line BC cuts them at B and C respectively) (ii)
We need to prove that ∠ABC = ∠DCB
∠ABC = ∠1 + ∠2 and ∠DCB = ∠3 + ∠4

From (i) and (ii), we get

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4

⇒ ∠ABC = ∠DCB

⇒ AB parallel CD (Alternate interior angles)
Hence, Proved.



Exercise 6.3
Question 1.

In Fig. 6.39, sides QP and RQ of Δ PQR are produced to points S and T respectively. If ∠ SPR = 135° and ∠ PQT = 110°, find ∠ PRQ.



Answer:

Method 1:

It is given in the question that:

∠SPR = 135O

And,

∠PQT = 110o


Now, according to the question,


∠SPR + ∠QPR = 180O (SQ is a straight line)


135o + ∠QPR = 180O


∠QPR = 45O


And,


∠PQT + ∠PQR = 180O (TR is a straight line)


110o + ∠PQR = 180O


∠PQR = 70O


Now,


∠PQR + ∠QPR + ∠PRQ = 180O (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle)


70o + 45o + ∠PRQ = 180O


115O + ∠PRQ = 180O


∠PRQ = 65O


Method 2:

It is given in the question that:

∠SPR = 135O

And,

∠PQT = 110o

∠PQT + ∠PQR = 180O (TR is a straight line)

110o + ∠PQR = 180O

∠PQR = 70O


Now, we know that the exterior angle of the triangle equals the sum of interior opposite angles. Therefore,

∠SPR = ∠PQR + ∠PRQ

135o = 70o + ∠PRQ

∠PRQ = 65o

Question 2.

In Fig. 6.40, ∠ X = 62°, ∠ XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠ XYZ and∠ XZY respectively of Δ XYZ, find ∠ OZY and ∠ YOZ.



Answer:

Given: ∠X = 62o, ∠ XYZ = 54o

YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively.
To Find: ∠ OZY and ∠ YOZ.


Now, according to the question,

∠X + ∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180o (Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°)

62o + 54o + ∠XZY = 180o

116o + ∠XZY = 180o

∠XZY = 64o


Now,

As ZO is the bisector of ∠ XZY

∠OZY = 1/2 ∠ XZY

∠OZY = 32o


And,

As YO is bisector of ∠ XYZ

∠OYZ = 1/2 ∠XYZ

∠OYZ = 27o


Now,

∠OZY + ∠OYZ + ∠O = 180o (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°)

32o + 27o + ∠O = 180o

59o + ∠O = 180o

∠O = 121o


Question 3.

In Fig. 6.41, if AB || DE, ∠ BAC = 35° and ∠ CDE = 53°, find ∠ DCE.



Answer:

Given: AB parallel DE, ∠BAC = 35o, ∠CDE = 53o


To Find: ∠DCE

According to question,

∠BAC = ∠CED (Alternate interior angles)

Therefore,

∠CED = 35o


Now, In Δ DEC,

∠DCE + ∠CED + ∠CDE = 180o (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle)

∠DCE + 35o + 53o = 180o

∠DCE + 88o = 180o

∠DCE = 92o


Question 4.

In Fig. 6.42, if lines PQ and RS intersect at point T, such that ∠ PRT = 40°, ∠ RPT = 95°and ∠ TSQ = 75°, find ∠ SQT.



Answer:

Given:

∠PRT = 40o

∠RPT = 95o and,

∠TSQ = 75o


Now according to the question,

∠PRT + ∠RPT + ∠PTR = 180o (Sum of interior angles of the triangle)


40o + 95o + ∠PTR = 180o


40o + 95o + ∠PTR = 180o


135o + ∠PTR = 180o


∠PTR = 45o


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


Now,


∠TSQ + ∠PTR + ∠SQT = 180o (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle)


75o + 45o + ∠SQT = 180o


120o + ∠SQT = 180o


∠SQT = 60o


Question 5.

In Fig. 6.43, if PQ ⊥ PS, PQ || SR, ∠ SQR = 28° and ∠ QRT = 65°, then find the values of x and y.



Answer:

To Find: Values of x and y

Given: PQ is perpendicular to PS, PQ parallel SR

∠SQR = 28o

And, ∠QRT = 65o

Now according to the question,


x + ∠SQR = ∠QRT (Alternate angles are equal as QR is transversal)


x + 28o = 65o


x = 37o



Now, in Δ PQS, Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

∠ PQS + ∠ PSQ + ∠ QPS = 180°

Therefore,

y + 37° + 90° = 180°

y= 53°

So x=37° and y= 53°

Question 6.

In Fig. 6.44, the side QR of ΔPQR is produced to a point S. If the bisectors of ∠PQR and ∠PRS meet at point T, then prove that ∠QTR =1/2 ∠QPR.


Answer:

To Prove: ∠QTR = 1/2 ∠QPR

Given: Bisectors of ∠PQR and ∠PRS meet at point T

Proof:

In ΔQTR,

∠TRS = ∠TQR + ∠QTR (Exterior angle of a triangle equals to the sum of the two opposite interior angles)

∠QTR = ∠TRS - ∠TQR -----------(i)

Similarly in ΔQPR,

∠SRP = ∠QPR + ∠PQR


2∠TRS = ∠QPR + 2∠TQR (∵ ∠TRS and ∠TQR are the bisectors of ∠SRP and ∠PQR respectively.)


∠QPR = 2 ∠TRS - 2 ∠TQR


.............(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

Hence, proved
