⇒2x = 90°
⇒x = 45°
C

Hence, measure of the angle that is equal to its complement is 45°.

(ii) Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥 ° .

Then, in case of supplementary angles:
𝑥 + 𝑥 =180°
⇒2x=180°
⇒x=90°
Hence, measure of the angle that is equal to its supplement is 90°.

Question 5:
Find the measure of an angle which is 36° more than its complement.
ANSWER:
Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥 ° .
Then, measure of its complement =(90−x)°
Therefore,
x−(90°−x)=36°
⇒2x=126°
⇒x=63°
Hence, the measure of the required angle is 63°.

PY
DO U A
ANSWER:
T
ED PR

Let the measure of the angle be x°.

∴ Supplement of x° = 180° − x°
C
©

It is given that,

(180° − x°) − x° = 30°

⇒ 180° − 2x°= 30°

⇒ 2x° = 180° − 30° = 150°

⇒ x° = 75°
Thus, the measure of the angle is 75°.

Question 7:
Find the angle which is four times its complement.
ANSWER:
Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥.
Then, measure of its complement =(90°−x).
Therefore,
𝑥 =(90°− 𝑥 )4
⇒ 𝑥 =360°−4 𝑥
⇒5𝑥 =360°
⇒ 𝑥 =72°
Hence, the measure of the required angle is 72°.

A
ANSWER:

PY
DO U A

Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥.

T

Then, measure of its supplement =(180°− 𝑥)

Therefore,
𝑥 =(180°− 𝑥)5
C
©

⇒ 𝑥 = 900°−5x
⇒6 𝑥 =900°
⇒ 𝑥= 150°
Hence, the measure of the required angle is 150°.

Question 9:
Find the angle whose supplement is four times its complement.
ANSWER:
Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥 ° .
Then, measure of its complement =(90− 𝑥)°
And, measure of its supplement=(180− 𝑥)°
Therefore,
(180− 𝑥)=4(90− 𝑥)
⇒180− 𝑥 =360−4𝑥
⇒3𝑥 =180
⇒ 𝑥 = 60
Hence, the measure of the required angle is 60°.

PY
ANSWER:
DO U A
T
Let the measure of the required angle be 𝑥 ° .
ED PR

Then, the measure of its complement = (90 − 𝑥 )°

And the measure of its supplement= (180 − 𝑥 )°
C

Therefore,
©

1
(90 − 𝑥) = (180 − 𝑥 )
3

⇒3(90− 𝑥)=(180− 𝑥)
⇒270−3𝑥 =180− 𝑥
⇒2𝑥 =90
⇒ 𝑥 =45
Hence, the measure of the required angle is 45°.

Question 11:
Two complementary angles are in the ratio 4 : 5. Find the angles.
ANSWER:
Let the two angles be 4x and 5x, respectively.
Then,
4x+5x=90
⇒9x=90
⇒x=10°
Hence, the two angles are 4x=4×10°=40° and 5x=5×10°=50°.

T
ED PR

Two angles whose sum is 90° are called complementary angles.

C

It is given that the angles (2x – 5)° and (x – 10)° are the complementary

∴ (2x – 5)° + (x – 10)° = 90°

⇒ 3x° – 15° = 90°

⇒ 3x° = 90° + 15° = 105°

105°
⇒ x° = = 35°

Thus, the value of x is 35.

ANSWER:

Let ∠AOC = 5k and ∠AOD = 7k, where k is some constant.

∠BOF = ∠AOE = 35º (Vertically opposite angles)

Now, ∠EOC and ∠COF form a linear pair.

∴ ∠EOC + ∠COF = 180º

⇒ (∠AOE + ∠AOC) + ∠COF = 180º

⇒ 35º + 40º + ∠COF = 180º

⇒ 75º + ∠COF = 180º

⇒ ∠COF = 180º − 75º = 105º

Also, ∠DOE = ∠COF = 105º (Vertically opposite angles)

Now,

∠AOD = ∠BOC = 125º (Vertically opposite angles)

∴ yº = 125º

∠BOD = ∠AOC = 55º (Vertically opposite angles)

∴ zº = 55º
Thus, the respective values of x, y and z are 55, 125 and 55.

Thus, the lines CA and BD are intersected by a transversal AB such that
