In Fig. 6.13, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If∠ AOC + ∠ BOE = 70° and ∠ BOD = 40°, find∠ BOE and reflex ∠ COE.
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°.
In Fig. 6.14, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If∠ POY = 90° and a: b = 2 : 3, find c.
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
In Fig. 6.15, ∠ PQR = ∠ PRQ, then prove that ∠ PQS = ∠ PRT.
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.
In Fig. 6.16, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.
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.
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).
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
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.
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
In Fig. 6.28, find the values of x and y and then show that AB || CD.
From the figure:
x + 50o = 180o (Linear pair)
x = 180o - 50ox = 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
In Fig. 6.29, if AB || CD, CD || EF and y : z = 3 : 7, Find x.
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°
In Fig. 6.30, if AB || CD, EF ⊥ CD and∠ GED = 126°, find ∠ AGE, ∠ GEF and ∠ FGE.
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
In Fig. 6.31, if PQ || ST, ∠ PQR = 110° and∠ RST = 130°, find ∠ QRS.
[Hint: Draw a line parallel to ST through point R.]
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
In Fig. 6.32, if AB || CD, ∠ APQ = 50° and∠ PRD = 127°, find x and y.
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,y + 50o + ∠ PRQ = 180o
y + 50o + 53o = 180o
y + 103o = 180o
y = 77o
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.
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.

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
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

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

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

∠ PQS + ∠ PSQ + ∠ QPS = 180°
Therefore,
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.
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
