  • Chapter 4 Linear Equations in Two Variables RS Aggarwal Solution for Class 9th Maths

    LinearEquations in Two Variables


    Exercise 8A

    Question 1:

    1. The given equation is x = 5


    Take two solutions of the given equation as x = 5, y = 1 and x = 5, y = -1 Thus we get the following table:

    Plot points P(5,1) and Q(5,-1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y = -2


    Take two solutions of the given equation as x = 1, y = -2 and x = 2, y = -2. Thus we have the following table:

    Plot points P(1,-2) and Q(2,-2) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required


    graph.

    1. The given equation is x + 6 = 0

    ⇒ x = -6


    Let x = -6 & y = 1 x = -6 & y = -1

    Plot points P(-6,1) and Q(-6,-1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. The given equation is x + 7 = 0

    ⇒ x = -7


    Let x = -7, y = 2 and x = -7, y = 1 Thus we have the following table:

    Plot points P(-7,2) and Q(-7,1) on the graph paper. Join PQ. The line PQ is the required graph.

    1. y = 0 represents the x-axis
    2. x = 0 represents the y-axis.

    Question 2:

    The given equation is y = 3x. Putting x = 1, y = 3 (1) = 3

    Putting x = 2, y = 3 (2) = 6


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,3) and (2,6) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Take a point P on the left of y-axis such that the distance of point P from the y-axis is 2 units.

    Draw PQ parallel to y-axis cutting the line y = 3x at Q. Draw QN parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at N.

    So, y = ON = -6.

    Question 3:

    The given equation is, x + 2y – 3 = 0

    ⇒ x = 3 – 2y

    Putting y = 1, x = 3 – (2 × 1) = 1

    Putting y = 0, x = 3 – (2 × 0) = 3 Thus, we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,1) and (3,0) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Take a point Q on x-axis such that OQ = 5.

    Draw QP parallel to y-axis meeting the line (x = 3 – 2y) at P. Through P, draw PM parallel to x-axis cutting y-axis at M. So, y = OM = -1.

    Question 4:

    1. The given equation is y = x


    Let x = 1, then y = 1 and let x = 2, then y = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,1) and (2,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y = -x


    Now, if x = 1, y = -1 and if x = 2, y = -2 Thus, we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,-1) and (2,-2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is y + 3x = 0

    ⇒ y = -3x

    Now, if x = -1, then y = -3 (-1) = 3


    And, if x = 1, then y = -3 (1) = -3 Thus we have the following table:


    Plot points (1,-3) and (-1,3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 2x + 3y = 0

    ⇒ y =

    x

    Now, if x = 3, then y =

    × 3 = -2

    And, if x = -3, then y =

    × (-3) = 2


    Thus, we have the following table

    Plot points (3,-2) and (-3,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 3x – 2y = 0

    ⇒ y =

    x Now, if x = 2, y =

    × 2 = 3

    And, if x = -2,

    y =

    × (-2) = -3


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (2,3) and (-2,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. The given equation is 2x + y = 0

    ⇒ y = -2x

    Now, if x = 1, then y = -2 1 = -2


    And, if x = -1, then y = -2 (-1) = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,-2) and (-1,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    Question 5:

    The given equation is, 2x – 3y = 5

    ⇒ y =


    Now, if x = 4, then

    And, if x = -2, then


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (4,1) and (-2,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    1. When x = 4, draw a line parallel to y-axis at a distance of 4 units from y-axis to its right cutting the line at Q and through Q draw a line parallel to x-axis cutting y-axis which is found to be at a distance of 1 units above x-axis.

    Thus, y = 1 when x = 4.

    1. When y = 3, draw a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of 3 units from x-axis and above it, cutting the line at point P. Through P, draw a line parallel to y-axis meeting x-axis at a point which is found be 7 units to the right of y axis.

    Thus, when y = 3, x = 7.

    Question 6:

    The given equation is 2x + y = 6

    ⇒ y = 6 – 2x

    Now, if x = 1, then y = 6 – 2 (1) = 4


    And, if x = 2, then y = 6 – 2 (2) = 2 Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (1,4) and (2,2) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.

    We find that the line cuts the x-axis at a point P which is at a distance of 3 units to the right of y-axis.

    So, the co-ordinates of P are (3,0).

    Question 7:

    The given equation is 3x + 2y = 6

    ⇒ 2y = 6 – 3x

    ⇒ y =


    Now, if x = 2, then

    And, if x = 4, then


    Thus, we have the following table:

    Plot points (2, 0) and (4,-3) on a graph paper and join them to get the required graph.


    We find that the line 3x + 2y = 6 cuts the y-axis at a point P which is 3 units above the x- axis.

    So, co-ordinates of P are (0,3).

  • Chapter 6 Lines and Angles RS Aggarwal Solution for Class 9th Maths

    Angles, Linesand Triangles

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4A

    1. Angle: Two rays having a common end point form an angle.
    2. Interior of an angle: The interior of ∠AOB is the set of all points in its plane, which lie on the same side of OA as B and also on same side of OB as A.
    3. Obtuse angle: An angle whose measure is more than 90° but less than 180°, is called an obtuse angle.
    4. Reflex angle: An angle whose measure is more than 180° but less than 360° is called a reflex angle.
    5. Complementary angles: Two angles are said to be complementary, if the sum of their measures is 90o.
    6. Supplementary angles: Two angles are said to be supplementary, if the sum of their measures is 180°.

    Question 2:

    ∠A = 36° 27′ 46″ and ∠B = 28° 43′ 39″

    ∴ Their sum = (36° 27′ 46″) + (28° 43′ 39″)

    Therefore, the sum ∠A + ∠B = 65° 11′ 25″

    Question 3:


    Let ∠A = 36° and ∠B = 24° 28′ 30″ Their difference = 36° – 24° 28′ 30″

    Thus the difference between two angles is ∠A – ∠B = 11° 31′ 30″

    Question 4:

      1. Complement of 58o = 90o – 58o = 32o
      2. Complement of 16o = 90 – 16o = 74o

      3. of a right angle =

        × 90o = 60o Complement of 60o = 90o – 60o = 30o
      4. 1o = 60′

    ⇒ 90o = 89o 60′

    Complement of 46o 30′ = 90o – 46o 30′ = 43o 30′ (v) 90o = 89o 59′ 60″

    Complement of 52o 43′ 20″ = 90o – 52o 43′ 20″

    = 37o 16′ 40″

    (vi) 90o = 89o 59′ 60″

    ∴ Complement of (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 90o – (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 89o 59′ 60″ – (68o 35′ 45″)

    = 21o 24′ 15″

    Question 5:

    1. Supplement of 63o = 180o – 63o = 117o
    2. Supplement of 138o = 180o – 138o = 42o

    3. of a right angle =

      × 90o = 54o

    ∴ Supplement of 54o = 180o – 54o = 126o

    1. 1o = 60′

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 60′

    Supplement of 75o 36′ = 180o – 75o 36′ = 104o 24′ (v) 1o = 60′, 1′ = 60″

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 59′ 60″

    Supplement of 124o 20′ 40″ = 180o – 124o 20′ 40″

    = 55o 39′ 20″

    (vi) 1o = 60′, 1′ = 60″

    ⇒ 180o = 179o 59′ 60″

    ∴ Supplement of 108o 48′ 32″ = 180o – 108o 48′ 32″

    = 71o 11′ 28″.

    Question 6:


      1. Let the required angle be xo Then, its complement = 90o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is equal to its complement is 45o.


      1. Let the required angle be xo Then, its supplement = 180o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is equal to its supplement is 90o.

    Question 7:


    Let the required angle be xo Then its complement is 90o – xo

    ∴ The measure of an angle which is 36o more than its complement is 63o.

    Question 8:


    Let the required angle be xo Then its supplement is 180o – xo


    ∴ The measure of an angle which is 25o less than its supplement is

    Question 9:


    Let the required angle be xo Then, its complement = 90o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 72o.

    Question 10:


    Let the required angle be xo Then, its supplement is 180o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 150o.

    Question 11:

    Let the required angle be xo


    Then, its complement is 90o – xo and its supplement is 180o – xo That is we have,

    ∴ The required angle is 60o.

    Question 12:

    Let the required angle be xo


    Then, its complement is 90o – xo and its supplement is 180o – xo

    ∴ The required angle is 45o.

    Question 13:


    Let the two required angles be xo and 180o – xo. Then,

    ⇒ 2x = 3(180 – x)

    ⇒ 2x = 540 – 3x

    ⇒ 3x + 2x = 540

    ⇒ 5x = 540

    ⇒ x = 108

    Thus, the required angles are 108o and 180o – xo = 180 o – 108o = 72o.

    Question 14:


    Let the two required angles be xo and 90o – xo. Then

    ⇒ 5x = 4(90 – x)

    ⇒ 5x = 360 – 4x

    ⇒ 5x + 4x = 360

    ⇒ 9x = 360

    ⇒ x =

    = 40

    Thus, the required angles are 40o and 90o – xo = 90 o – 40o = 50o.

    Question 15:

    Let the required angle be xo.

    Then, its complementary and supplementary angles are (90o – x) and (180o – x) respectively.

    Then, 7(90o – x) = 3 (180o – x) – 10o

    ⇒ 630o – 7x = 540o – 3x – 10o

    ⇒ 7x – 3x = 630o – 530o

    ⇒ 4x = 100o

    ⇒ x = 25o

    Thus, the required angle is 25o.

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4B

    Since ∠BOC and ∠COA form a linear pair of angles, we have

    ∠BOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 62o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 62

    ∴ x = 118o

    Question 2:

    Since, ∠BOD and ∠DOA form a linear pair.

    ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 180o

    ∴ ∠BOD + ∠DOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ (x + 20)o + 55o + (3x – 5)o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 20 + 55 + 3x – 5 = 180

    ⇒ 4x + 70 = 180

    ⇒ 4x = 180 – 70 = 110

    ⇒ x =

    = 27.5

    ∴ ∠AOC = (3 × 27.5 – 5)o = 82.5-5 = 77.5o And, ∠BOD = (x + 20)o = 27.5o + 20o = 47.5o.

    Question 3:

    Since ∠BOD and ∠DOA from a linear pair of angles.

    ⇒ ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BOD + ∠DOC + ∠COA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + (2x – 19)o + (3x + 7)o = 180o

    ⇒ 6x – 12 = 180

    ⇒ 6x = 180 + 12 = 192

    ⇒ x =

    = 32

    ⇒ x = 32

    ⇒ ∠AOC = (3x + 7)o = (3 32 + 7)o = 103o

    ⇒ ∠COD = (2x – 19)o = (2 32 – 19)o = 45o

    and ∠BOD = xo = 32o

    Question 4:

    x: y: z = 5: 4: 6

    The sum of their ratios = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15 But x + y + z = 180o

    [Since, XOY is a straight line]

    So, if the total sum of the measures is 15, then the measure of x is 5. If the sum of angles is 180o, then, measure of x =

    × 180 = 60

    And, if the total sum of the measures is 15, then the measure of y is 4. If the sum of the angles is 180o, then, measure of y =

    × 180 = 48 And ∠z = 180o – ∠x – ∠y

    = 180o – 60o – 48o

    = 180o – 108o = 72o

    ∴ x = 60, y = 48 and z = 72.

    Question 5:

    AOB will be a straight line, if two adjacent angles form a linear pair.

    ∴ ∠BOC + ∠AOC = 180o

    ⇒ (4x – 36)o + (3x + 20)o = 180o

    ⇒ 4x – 36 + 3x + 20 = 180

    ⇒ 7x – 16 = 180o

    ⇒ 7x = 180 + 16 = 196

    ⇒ x =

    = 28

    ∴ The value of x = 28.

    Question 6:

    Since ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair.

    ∴ ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ 50o + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – 50o = 130o

    ∠AOD and ∠BOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∠AOD = ∠BOC

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 130o

    ∠BOD and ∠AOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠BOD = ∠AOC

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 50o

    Question 7:

    Since ∠COE and ∠DOF are vertically opposite angles, we have,

    ∠COE = ∠DOF

    ⇒ ∠z = 50o

    Also ∠BOD and ∠COA are vertically opposite angles. So, ∠BOD = ∠COA

    ⇒ ∠t = 90o

    As ∠COA and ∠AOD form a linear pair,

    ∠COA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠COA + ∠AOF + ∠FOD = 180o [∠t = 90o]

    ⇒ t + x + 50o = 180o

    ⇒ 90o + xo + 50o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 140 = 180

    ⇒ x = 180 – 140 = 40

    Since ∠EOB and ∠AOF are vertically opposite angles So, ∠EOB = ∠AOF

    ⇒ y = x = 40

    Thus, x = 40 = y = 40, z = 50 and t = 90

    Question 8:

    Since ∠COE and ∠EOD form a linear pair of angles.

    ⇒ ∠COE + ∠EOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠COE + ∠EOA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ 5x + ∠EOA + 2x = 180

    ⇒ 5x + ∠BOF + 2x = 180

    [∴ ∠EOA and BOF are vertically opposite angles so, ∠EOA = ∠BOF]

    ⇒ 5x + 3x + 2x = 180

    ⇒ 10x = 180

    ⇒ x = 18

    Now ∠AOD = 2xo = 2 × 18o = 36o

    ∠COE = 5xo = 5 × 18o = 90o

    and, ∠EOA = ∠BOF = 3xo = 3 × 18o = 54o

    Question 9:

    Let the two adjacent angles be 5x and 4x. Now, since these angles form a linear pair. So, 5x + 4x = 180o

    ⇒ 9x = 180o

    ⇒ x =

    = 20

    ∴ The required angles are 5x = 5x = 5 20o = 100o and 4x = 4 × 20o = 80o

    Question 10:

    Let two straight lines AB and CD intersect at O and let ∠AOC = 90o.

    Now, ∠AOC = ∠BOD [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 90o

    Also, as ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair.

    ⇒ 90o + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – 90o = 90o

    Since, ∠BOC = ∠AOD [Verticallty opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 90o

    Thus, each of the remaining angles is 90o.

    Question 11:

    Since, ∠AOD and ∠BOC are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠AOD = ∠BOC

    Now, ∠AOD + ∠BOC = 280o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠AOD + ∠AOD = 280o

    ⇒ 2∠AOD = 280o

    ⇒ ∠AOD =

    = 140o

    ⇒ ∠BOC = ∠AOD = 140o

    As, ∠AOC and ∠AOD form a linear pair. So, ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOC + 140o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOC = 180o – 140o = 40o

    Since, ∠AOC and ∠BOD are vertically opposite angles.

    ∴ ∠AOC = ∠BOD

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 40o

    ∴ ∠BOC = 140o, ∠AOC = 40o , ∠AOD = 140o and ∠BOD = 40o.

    Question 12:

    Since ∠COB and ∠BOD form a linear pair So, ∠COB + ∠BOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BOD = 180o – ∠COB …. (1)

    Also, as ∠COA and ∠AOD form a linear pair. So, ∠COA + ∠AOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – ∠COA

    ⇒ ∠AOD = 180o – ∠COB …. (2)

    [Since, OC is the bisector of ∠AOB, ∠BOC = ∠AOC] From (1) and (2), we get,

    ∠AOD = ∠BOD (Proved)

    Question 13:

    Let QS be a perpendicular to AB. Now, ∠PQS = ∠SQR

    Because angle of incident = angle of reflection

    ⇒ ∠PQS = ∠SQR =

    = 56o

    Since QS is perpendicular to AB, ∠PQA and ∠PQS are complementary angles. Thus, ∠PQA + ∠PQS = 90o

    ⇒ ∠PQA + 56o = 90o

    ⇒ ∠PQA = 90o – 56o = 34o

    Question 14:

    Given : AB and CD are two lines which are intersecting at O. OE is a ray bisecting the

    ∠BOD. OF is a ray opposite to ray OE.

    To Prove: ∠AOF = ∠COF

    Proof : Since

    and

    are two opposite rays,

    is a straight line passing through O.

    ∴ ∠AOF = ∠BOE and ∠COF = ∠DOE

    [Vertically opposite angles] But ∠BOE = ∠DOE (Given)

    ∴ ∠AOF = ∠COF

    Hence, proved.

    Question 15:

    Given:

    is the bisector of ∠BCD and

    is the bisector of ∠ACD. To Prove: ∠ECF = 90o

    Proof: Since ∠ACD and ∠BCD forms a linear pair.

    ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180o

    ∠ACE + ∠ECD + ∠DCF + ∠FCB = 180o

    ∠ECD + ∠ECD + ∠DCF + ∠DCF = 180o

    because ∠ACE = ∠ECD and ∠DCF = ∠FCB

    2(∠ECD) + 2 (∠CDF) = 180o

    2(∠ECD + ∠DCF) = 180o

    ∠ECD + ∠DCF =

    = 90o

    ∠ECF = 90o (Proved)

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4C

    Since AB and CD are given to be parallel lines and t is a transversal. So, ∠5 = ∠1 = 70o [Corresponding angles are equal]

    ∠3 = ∠1 = 70o [Vertically opp. Angles]

    ∠3 + ∠6 = 180o [Co-interior angles on same side]

    ∴ ∠6 = 180o – ∠3

    = 180o – 70o = 110o

    ∠6 = ∠8 [Vertically opp. Angles]

    ⇒ ∠8 = 110o

    ⇒ ∠4 + ∠5 = 180o [Co-interior angles on same side]

    ∠4 = 180o – 70o = 110o

    ∠2 = ∠4 = 110o [ Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠5 = ∠7 [Vertically opposite angles] So, ∠7 = 70o

    ∴ ∠2 = 110o, ∠3 = 70o , ∠4 = 110o, ∠5 = 70o, ∠6 = 110o, ∠7 = 70o and ∠8 = 110o.

    Question 2:

    Since ∠2 : ∠1 = 5 : 4.

    Let ∠2 and ∠1 be 5x and 4x respectively.

    Now, ∠2 + ∠1 = 180o , because ∠2 and ∠1 form a linear pair. So, 5x + 4x = 180o

    ⇒ 9x = 180o

    ⇒ x = 20o

    ∴ ∠1 = 4x = 4 × 20o = 80o And ∠2 = 5x = 5 × 20o = 100o

    ∠3 = ∠1 = 80o [Vertically opposite angles]

    And ∠4 = ∠2 = 100o [Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠1 = ∠5 and ∠2 = ∠6 [Corresponding angles] So, ∠5 = 80o and ∠6 = 100o

    ∠8 = ∠6 = 100o [Vertically opposite angles] And ∠7 = ∠5 = 80o [Vertically opposite angles]

    Thus, ∠1 = 80o, ∠2 = 100o, ∠3 = ∠80o, ∠4 = 100o, ∠5 = 80o, ∠6 = 100o, ∠7 = 80o and

    ∠8 = 100o.

    Question 3:

    Given: AB || CD and AD || BC To Prove: ∠ADC = ∠ABC

    Proof: Since AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So sum of consecutive interior angles is

    180o.

    ⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADC = 180o ….(i)

    Also, AD || BC and AB is transversal. So, ∠BAD + ∠ABC = 180o ….(ii) From (i) and (ii) we get:

    ∠BAD + ∠ADC = ∠BAD + ∠ABC

    ⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ABC (Proved)

    Question 4:


    1. Through E draw EG || CD. Now since EG||CD and ED is a transversal.

    So, ∠GED = ∠EDC = 65o [Alternate interior angles] Since EG || CD and AB || CD,

    EG||AB and EB is transversal.

    So, ∠BEG = ∠ABE = 35o [Alternate interior angles] So, ∠DEB = xo

    ⇒ ∠BEG + ∠GED = 35o + 65o = 100o.

    Hence, x = 100.


    1. Through O draw OF||CD.

    Now since OF || CD and OD is transversal.

    ∠CDO + ∠FOD = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ 25o + ∠FOD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FOD = 180o – 25o = 155o

    As OF || CD and AB || CD [Given] Thus, OF || AB and OB is a transversal.

    So, ∠ABO + ∠FOB = 180o [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ 55o + ∠FOB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FOB = 180o – 55o = 125o

    Now, xo = ∠FOB + ∠FOD = 125o + 155o = 280o.

    Hence, x = 280.


    1. Through E, draw EF || CD.

    Now since EF || CD and EC is transversal.

    ∠FEC + ∠ECD = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠FEC + 124o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FEC = 180o – 124o = 56o

    Since EF || CD and AB ||CD

    So, EF || AB and AE is a trasveral.

    So, ∠BAE + ∠FEA = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ∴ 116o + ∠FEA = 180o

    ⇒ ∠FEA = 180o – 116o = 64o

    Thus, xo = ∠FEA + ∠FEC

    = 64o + 56o = 120o.

    Hence, x = 120.

    Question 5:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal.

    So, ∠ABC = ∠BCD [atternate interior angles]

    ⇒ 70o = xo + ∠ECD ….(i)

    Now, CD || EF and CE is transversal.

    So, ∠ECD + ∠CEF = 180o

    ∴ ∠ECD + 130o = 180o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 180o – 130o = 50o

    Putting ∠ECD = 50o in (i) we get, 70o = xo + 50o

    ⇒ x = 70 – 50 = 20

    Question 6:


    Through C draw FG || AE

    Now, since CG || BE and CE is a transversal.

    So, ∠GCE = ∠CEA = 20o

    ∴ ∠DCG = 130o – ∠GCE

    = 130o – 20o = 110o

    [Alternate angles]

    Also, we have AB || CD and FG is a transversal.

    So, ∠BFC = ∠DCG = 110o

    As, FG || AE, AF is a transversal.

    [Corresponding angles]

    ∠BFG = ∠FAE [Corresponding angles]

    ∴ xo = ∠FAE = 110o. Hence, x = 110

    Question 7:

    Given: AB || CD

    To Prove: ∠BAE – ∠DCE = ∠AEC

    Construction : Through E draw EF || AB Proof : Since EF || AB, AE is a transversal. So, ∠BAE + ∠AEF = 180O ….(i)

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o] As EF || AB and AB || CD [Given]

    So, EF || CD and EC is a transversal.

    So, ∠FEC + ∠DCE = 180o ….(ii)

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o] From (i) and (ii) we get,

    ∠BAE + ∠AEF = ∠FEC + ∠DCE

    ⇒ ∠BAE – ∠DCE = ∠FEC – ∠AEF = ∠AEC [Proved]

    Question 8:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal.

    So, ∠BCD = ∠ABC = xo

    [Alternate angles]

    As BC || ED and CD is a transversal.

    ∠BCD + ∠EDC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BCD + 75o =180o

    ⇒ ∠BCD = 180o – 75o = 105o

    ∠ABC = 105o

    ∴ xo = ∠ABC = 105o Hence, x = 105.

    [since ∠BCD = ∠ABC]

    Question 9:


    Through F, draw KH || AB || CD

    Now, KF || CD and FG is a transversal.

    ⇒ ∠KFG = ∠FGD = ro …. (i) [alternate angles]

    Again AE || KF, and EF is a transversal.

    So, ∠AEF + ∠KFE = 180o

    ∠KFE = 180o – po …. (ii) Adding (i) and (ii) we get,

    ∠KFG + ∠KFE = 180 – p + r

    ⇒ ∠EFG = 180 – p + r

    ⇒ q = 180 – p + r i.e., p + q – r = 180

    Question 10:

    Since AB || PQ and EF is a transversal.

    So, ∠CEB = ∠EFQ [Corresponding angles]

    ⇒ ∠EFQ = 75o

    ⇒ ∠EFG + ∠GFQ = 75o

    ⇒ 25o + yo = 75o

    ⇒ y = 75 – 25 = 50

    Also, ∠BEF + ∠EFQ = 180o

    ∠BEF = 180o – ∠EFQ

    = 180o – 75o

    ∠BEF = 105o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ∴ ∠FEG + ∠GEB = ∠BEF = 105o

    ⇒ ∠FEG = 105o – ∠GEB = 105o – 20o = 85o

    In ∆EFG we have,

    xo + 25o + ∠FEG = 180o

    Hence, x = 70.

    Question 11:

    Since AB || CD and AC is a transversal.

    So, ∠BAC + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACD = 180o – ∠BAC

    = 180o – 75o = 105o

    [sum of consecutive interior angles is 180o]

    ⇒ ∠ECF = ∠ACD [Vertically opposite angles]

    ∠ECF = 105o

    Now in ∆CEF,

    ∠ECF + ∠CEF + ∠EFC =180o

    ⇒ 105o + xo + 30o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 30 – 105 = 45

    Hence, x = 45.

    Question 12:

    Since AB || CD and PQ a transversal.

    So, ∠PEF = ∠EGH [Corresponding angles]

    ⇒ ∠EGH = 85o

    ∠EGH and ∠QGH form a linear pair. So, ∠EGH + ∠QGH = 180o

    ⇒ ∠QGH = 180o – 85o = 95o

    Similarly, ∠GHQ + 115o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠GHQ = 180o – 115o = 65o

    In ∆GHQ, we have, xo + 65o + 95o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180 – 65 – 95 = 180 – 160

    ∴ x = 20

    Question 13:

    Since AB || CD and BC is a transversal. So, ∠ABC = ∠BCD

    ⇒ x = 35

    Also, AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So, ∠BAD = ∠ADC

    ⇒ z = 75

    In ∆ABO, we have,

    ∠AOB + ∠BAO + ∠BOA = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 75o + yo = 180o

    ⇒ 35 + 75 + y = 180

    ⇒ y = 180 – 110 = 70

    ∴ x = 35, y = 70 and z = 75.

    Question 14:

    Since AB || CD and PQ is a transversal. So, y = 75 [Alternate angle]

    Since PQ is a transversal and AB || CD, so x + APQ = 180o

    [Sum of consecutive interior angles]

    ⇒ xo = 180o – APQ

    ⇒ x = 180 – 75 = 105

    Also, AB || CD and PR is a transversal.

    So, ∠APR = ∠PRD [Alternate angle]

    ⇒ ∠APQ + ∠QPR = ∠PRD [Since ∠APR = ∠APQ + ∠QPR]

    ⇒ 75o + zo = 125o

    ⇒ z = 125 – 75 = 50

    ∴ x = 105, y = 75 and z = 50.

    Question 15:

    ∠PRQ = xo = 60o

    [vertically opposite angles]

    Since EF || GH, and RQ is a transversal. So, ∠x = ∠y [Alternate angles]

    ⇒ y = 60

    AB || CD and PR is a transversal.

    So, ∠PRD = ∠APR [Alternate angles]

    ⇒ ∠PRQ + ∠QRD = ∠APR [since ∠PRD = ∠PRQ + ∠QRD]

    ⇒ x + ∠QRD = 110o

    ⇒ ∠QRD = 110o – 60o = 50o

    In ∆QRS, we have,

    ∠QRD + to + yo = 180o

    ⇒ 50 + t + 60 = 180

    ⇒ t = 180 – 110 = 70

    Since, AB || CD and GH is a transversal So, zo = to = 70o [Alternate angles]

    ∴ x = 60 , y = 60, z = 70 and t = 70

    Question 16:

    1. Lines l and m will be parallel if 3x – 20 = 2x + 10

    [Since, if corresponding angles are equal, lines are parallel]

    ⇒ 3x – 2x = 10 + 20

    ⇒ x = 30

    1. Lines will be parallel if (3x + 5)o + 4xo = 180o

    [if sum of pairs of consecutive interior angles is 180o, the lines are parallel] So, (3x + 5) + 4x = 180

    ⇒ 3x + 5 + 4x = 180

    ⇒ 7x = 180 – 5 = 175

    ⇒ x =

    = 25

    Question 17:


    Given: Two lines m and n are perpendicular to a given line l.

    To Prove: m || n Proof : Since m ⊥ l So, ∠1 = 90o Again, since n ⊥ l

    ∠2 = 90o

    ∴ ∠1 = ∠2 = 90o

    But ∠1 and ∠2 are the corresponding angles made by the transversal l with lines m and n and they are proved to be equal.

    Thus, m || n.

    Question 1:

    Exercise 4D

    Since, sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + 76o + 48o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A = 180o – 124o = 56o

    ∴ ∠A = 56o

    Question 2:

    Let the measures of the angles of a triangle are (2x)o, (3x)o and (4x)o. Then, 2x + 3x + 4x = 180 [sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o ]

    ⇒ 9x = 180

    ⇒ x =

    = 20

    ∴ The measures of the required angles are: 2x = (2 × 20)o = 40o

    3x = (3 × 20)o = 60o

    4x = (4 × 20)o = 80o

    Question 3:

    Let 3∠A = 4∠B = 6∠C = x (say) Then, 3∠A = x

    ⇒ ∠A =

    4∠B = x

    ⇒ ∠B =

    and 6∠C = x

    ⇒ ∠C =

    As ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    Question 4:

    ∠A + ∠B = 108o [Given]

    But as ∠A, ∠B and ∠C are the angles of a triangle,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 108o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ C = 180o – 108o = 72o

    Also, ∠B + ∠C = 130o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠B + 72o = 130o

    ⇒ ∠B = 130o – 72o = 58o Now as, ∠A + ∠B = 108o

    ⇒ ∠A + 58o = 108o

    ⇒ ∠A = 108o – 58o = 50o

    ∴ ∠A = 50o, ∠B = 58o and ∠C = 72o.

    Question 5:

    Since. ∠A , ∠B and ∠C are the angles of a triangle . So, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    Now, ∠A + ∠B = 125o [Given]

    ∴ 125o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 125o = 55o

    Also, ∠A + ∠C = 113o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠A + 55o = 113o

    ⇒ ∠A = 113o – 55o = 58o Now as ∠A + ∠B = 125o

    ⇒ 58o + ∠B = 125o

    ⇒ ∠B = 125o – 58o = 67o

    ∴ ∠A = 58o, ∠B = 67o and ∠C = 55o.

    Question 6:

    Since, ∠P, ∠Q and ∠R are the angles of a triangle. So, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180o ….(i)

    Now, ∠P – ∠Q = 42o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠P = 42o + ∠Q ….(ii)

    and ∠Q – ∠R = 21o [Given]

    ⇒ ∠R = ∠Q – 21o ….(iii)

    Substituting the value of ∠P and ∠R from (ii) and (iii) in (i), we get,

    ⇒ 42o + ∠Q + ∠Q + ∠Q – 21o = 180o

    ⇒ 3∠Q + 21o = 180o

    ⇒ 3∠Q = 180o – 21o = 159o

    ∠Q =

    = 53o

    ∴ ∠P = 42o + ∠Q

    = 42o + 53o = 95o

    ∠R = ∠Q – 21o

    = 53o – 21o = 32o

    ∴ ∠P = 95o, ∠Q = 53o and ∠R = 32o.

    Question 7:

    Given that the sum of the angles A and B of a ABC is 116o, i.e., ∠A + ∠B = 116o. Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    So, 116o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 116o = 64o

    Also, it is given that:

    ∠A – ∠B = 24o

    ⇒ ∠A = 24o + ∠B

    Putting, ∠A = 24o + ∠B in ∠A + ∠B = 116o, we get,

    ⇒ 24o + ∠B + ∠B = 116o

    ⇒ 2∠B + 24o = 116o

    ⇒ 2∠B = 116o – 24o = 92o

    ∠B =

    = 46o

    Therefore, ∠A = 24o + 46o = 70o

    ∴ ∠A = 70o, ∠B = 46o and ∠C = 64o.

    Question 8:

    Let the two equal angles, A and B, of the triangle be xo each. We know,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ xo + xo + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2xo + ∠C = 180o ….(i) Also, it is given that,

    ∠C = xo + 18o ….(ii)

    Substituting ∠C from (ii) in (i), we get,

    ⇒ 2xo + xo + 18o = 180o

    ⇒ 3xo = 180o – 18o = 162o x =

    = 54o

    Thus, the required angles of the triangle are 54o, 54o and xo + 18o = 54o + 18o = 72o.

    Question 9:

    Let ∠C be the smallest angle of ABC. Then, ∠A = 2∠C and B = 3∠C

    Also, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2∠C + 3∠C + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 6∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 30o

    So, ∠A = 2∠C = 2 (30o) = 60o

    ∠B = 3∠C = 3 (30o) = 90o

    ∴ The required angles of the triangle are 60o, 90o, 30o.

    Question 10:

    Let ABC be a right angled triangle and ∠C = 90o Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 180o – ∠C = 180o – 90o = 90o

    Suppose ∠A = 53o

    Then, 53o + ∠B = 90o

    ⇒ ∠B = 90o – 53o = 37o

    ∴ The required angles are 53o, 37o and 90o.

    Question 11:

    Let ABC be a triangle. Given, ∠A + ∠B = ∠C

    We know, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 2∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C =

    = 90o

    So, we find that ABC is a right triangle, right angled at C.

    Question 12:

    Given : ∆ABC in which ∠A = 90o, AL ⊥ BC To Prove: ∠BAL = ∠ACB

    Proof :

    In right triangle ∆ABC,

    ⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC + 90o + ∠ACB = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o – 90o

    ∴ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 90o

    ⇒ ∠ ACB = 90o – ∠ABC ….(1)

    Similarly since ∆ABL is a right triangle, we find that,

    ∠BAL = 90o – ∠ABC …(2)

    Thus from (1) and (2), we have

    ∴ ∠BAL = ∠ACB (Proved)

    Question 13:

    Let ABC be a triangle. So, ∠A < ∠B + ∠C

    Adding A to both sides of the inequality,

    ⇒ 2∠A < ∠A + ∠B + ∠C

    ⇒ 2∠A < 180o

    ⇒ ∠A <

    = 90o

    [Since ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o]

    Similarly, ∠B < ∠A + ∠C

    ⇒ ∠B < 90o

    and ∠C < ∠A + ∠B

    ⇒ ∠C < 90o

    ∆ABC is an acute angled triangle.

    Question 14:

    Let ABC be a triangle and ∠B > ∠A + ∠C Since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180o – ∠B Therefore, we get

    ∠B > 180o – ∠B

    Adding ∠B on both sides of the inequality, we get,

    ⇒ ∠B + ∠B > 180o – ∠B + ∠B

    ⇒ 2∠B > 180o

    ⇒ ∠B >

    = 90o

    i.e., ∠B > 90o which means ∠B is an obtuse angle.

    ∆ABC is an obtuse angled triangle.

    Question 15:

    Since ∠ACB and ∠ACD form a linear pair. So, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB + 128o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180o – 128 = 52o

    Also, ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 43o + 52o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 95o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 95o = 85o

    ∴ ∠ACB = 52o and ∠BAC = 85o.

    Question 16:

    As ∠DBA and ∠ABC form a linear pair. So, ∠DBA + ∠ABC = 180o

    ⇒ 106o + ∠ABC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ABC = 180o – 106o = 74o

    Also, ∠ACB and ∠ACE form a linear pair. So, ∠ACB + ∠ACE = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB + 118o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180o – 118o = 62o

    In ∠ABC, we have,

    ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180o 74o + 62o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ 136o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 136o = 44o

    ∴ In triangle ABC, ∠A = 44o, ∠B = 74o and ∠C = 62o

    Question 17:

    (i) ∠EAB + ∠BAC = 180o [Linear pair angles]

    110o + ∠BAC = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 180o – 110o = 70o

    Again, ∠BCA + ∠ACD = 180o [Linear pair angles]

    ⇒ ∠BCA + 120o = 180o

    ⇒ ∠BCA = 180o – 120o = 60o

    Now, in ∆ABC,

    ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180o

    xo + 70o + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ x + 130o = 180o

    ⇒ x = 180o – 130o = 50o

    ∴ x = 50 (ii)

    In ∆ABC,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 30o + 40o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 70o + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ ∠C = 180o – 70o = 110o

    Now ∠BCA + ∠ACD = 180o [Linear pair]

    ⇒ 110o + ∠ACD = 180o

    ⇒ ∠ACD = 180o – 110o = 70o In ∆ECD,

    ⇒ ∠ECD + ∠CDE + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ 70o + 50o + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ 120o + ∠CED = 180o

    ∠CED = 180o – 120o = 60o

    Since ∠AED and ∠CED from a linear pair So, ∠AED + ∠CED = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 60o = 120o

    ∴ x = 120 (iii)

    ∠EAF = ∠BAC [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠BAC = 60o

    In ∆ABC, exterior ∠ACD is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles. So, ∠ACD = ∠BAC + ∠ABC

    ⇒ 115o = 60o + xo

    ⇒ xo = 115o – 60o = 55o

    ∴ x = 55 (iv)

    Since AB || CD and AD is a transversal. So, ∠BAD = ∠ADC

    ⇒ ∠ADC = 60o

    In ∠ECD, we have,

    ∠E + ∠C + ∠D = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 45o + 60o = 180o

    ⇒ xo + 105o = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 105o = 75o

    ∴ x = 75 (v)

    In ∆AEF,

    Exterior ∠BED = ∠EAF + ∠EFA

    ⇒ 100o = 40o + ∠EFA

    ⇒ ∠EFA = 100o – 40o = 60o

    Also, ∠CFD = ∠EFA [Vertically Opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠CFD = 60o Now in ∆FCD,

    Exterior ∠BCF = ∠CFD + ∠CDF

    ⇒ 90o = 60o + xo

    ⇒ xo = 90o – 60o = 30o

    ∴ x = 30 (vi)

    In ∆ABE, we have,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ 75o + 65o + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ 140o + ∠E = 180o

    ⇒ ∠E = 180o – 140o = 40o

    Now, ∠CED = ∠AEB [Vertically opposite angles]

    ⇒ ∠CED = 40o

    Now, in ∆CED, we have,

    ∠C + ∠E + ∠D = 180o

    ⇒ 110o + 40o + xo = 180o

    ⇒ 150o + xo = 180o

    ⇒ xo = 180o – 150o = 30o

    ∴ x = 30

    Question 18:


    Produce CD to cut AB at E.

    Now, in ∆BDE, we have,

    Exterior ∠CDB = ∠CEB + ∠DBE

    ⇒ xo = ∠CEB + 45o In ∆AEC, we have,

    …..(i)

    Exterior ∠CEB = ∠CAB + ∠ACE

    = 55o + 30o = 85o

    Putting ∠CEB = 85o in (i), we get, xo = 85o + 45o = 130o

    ∴ x = 130

    Question 19:

    The angle ∠BAC is divided by AD in the ratio 1 : 3. Let ∠BAD and ∠DAC be y and 3y, respectively. As BAE is a straight line,

    ∠BAC + ∠CAE = 180o

    [linear pair]

    ⇒ ∠BAD + ∠DAC + ∠CAE = 180o

    ⇒ y + 3y + 108o = 180o

    ⇒ 4y = 180o – 108o = 72o

    ⇒ y =

    = 18o Now, in ∆ABC,

    ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180o

    y + x + 4y = 180o

    [Since, ∠ABC = ∠BAD (given AD = DB) and ∠BAC = y + 3y = 4y]

    ⇒ 5y + x = 180

    ⇒ 5 × 18 + x = 180

    ⇒ 90 + x = 180

    ∴ x = 180 – 90 = 90

    Question 20:

    Given : A ∆ABC in which BC, CA and AB are produced to D, E and F respectively. To prove : Exterior ∠DCA + Exterior ∠BAE + Exterior ∠FBD = 360o

    Proof : Exterior ∠DCA = ∠A + ∠B ….(i) Exterior ∠FAE = ∠B + ∠C ….(ii) Exterior ∠FBD = ∠A + ∠C ….(iii) Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get,

    Ext. ∠DCA + Ext. ∠FAE + Ext. ∠FBD

    = ∠A + ∠B + ∠B + ∠C + ∠A + ∠C

    = 2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C

    = 2 (∠A + ∠B + ∠C)

    = 2 × 180o

    [Since, in triangle the sum of all three angle is 180o]

    = 360o

    Hence, proved.

    Question 21:

    In ∆ACE, we have,

    ∠A + ∠C + ∠E = 180o ….(i) In ∆BDF, we have,

    ∠B + ∠D + ∠F = 180o ….(ii)

    Adding both sides of (i) and (ii), we get,

    ∠A + ∠C +∠E + ∠B + ∠D + ∠F = 180o + 180o

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 360o.

    Question 22:

    Given : In ∆ABC, bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O and ∠A = 70o In ∆BOC, we have,

    ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180o

    = 180o – 55o = 125o

    ∴ ∠BOC = 125o.

    Question 23:

    We have a ∆ABC whose sides AB and AC have been procued to D and E. A = 40o and bisectors of ∠CBD and ∠BCE meet at O.

    In ∆ABC, we have, Exterior ∠CBD = C + 40o

    And exterior ∠BCE = B + 40o

    Now, in ∆BCO, we have,

    = 50o + 20o

    = 70o

    Thus, ∠BOC = 70o

    Question 24:

    In the given ∆ABC, we have,

    ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 2 : 1

    Let ∠A = 3x, ∠B = 2x, ∠C = x. Then,

    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o

    ⇒ 3x + 2x + x = 180o

    ⇒ 6x = 180o

    ⇒ x = 30o

    ∠A = 3x = 3 30o = 90o

    ∠B = 2x = 2 30o = 60o

    and, ∠C = x = 30o

    Now, in ∆ABC, we have,

    Ext ∠ACE = ∠A + ∠B = 90o + 60o = 150o

    ∠ACD + ∠ECD = 150o

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 150o – ∠ACD

    ⇒ ∠ECD = 150o – 90o

    ⇒ ∠ECD= 60o

    [since , AD ⊥ CD, ∠ACD = 90o]

    Question 25:

    In ∆ABC, AN is the bisector of ∠A and AM ⊥ BC. Now in ∆ABC we have;

    ∠A = 180o – ∠B – ∠C

    ⇒ ∠A = 180o – 65o – 30o

    = 180o – 95o

    = 85o

    Now, in ∆ANC we have;

    Thus, ∠MAN =

    6. Concurrent lines: Three or more lines are said to be concurrent, if they intersect at the same point.
    7. Collinear points: Three or more than three points are said to be collinear, if they lie on the same line.
    8. Plane: A plane is a surface such that every point of the line joining any two points on it, lies on it.
