21. Let larger angle be x and smaller be y 2
According to first condition
x = y + 18º ...(I)
We know that sum of supplementary angle is 180º
? x + y = 180º ...(II)
Substitute x = y + 18º in eq. (II)
y + 18º + y = 180º
18º + 2y = 180º
2y = 180º – 18º

2y = 162º
y = 81º
Substitute y = 81º in eq. (I)
x = 81º + 18º
x = 99º
? Measure of two required angles are 99º and 81º.

Here, 5 is irrational number and is rational number..

Hence, 3 + 2 5 is an irrational number..
27. Let the given polynomial be p(x) having zeroes D, E, J. 3

Putting a = 1
? (1)3 – (1)b2 = –1

Taking square of both sides
? b = r 2

Hence, a = 1 and b = r 2

30. Given : 3
ABCD is a parallelogram circumscribing a circle.
To prove : ‰ABCD is rhombus.
Proof :
AB, BC, DC and AD are sides of parallelogram ABCD touching the circle at point of
contact P, Q, R and S respectively.
Tangent segments drawn from external point to the circle are equal in length.
From A AP = AS ...(I)
From B BP = BQ ...(II)
From C CR = CQ ...(III)
From D DR = DS ...(IV)
Now adding (I), (II), (III) and (IV)
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
? (AP + BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
? AB + CD = AD + BC ...(V)
AB = DC and AD = BC [Opposite sides of parallelogram]
? AB + AB = AD + AD [From (V)]
? 2AB = 2AD
AB = AD
Similarly, AB = B C
AD = CD
? AB = BC = CD = AD
Hence, ‰ ABCD is rhombus.
