Therefore, the triangle is acute-angled.

#### Question 13:

If one angle of a triangle is greater than the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is obtuse-angled.

Let ABC be a triangle and let $\angle C>\angle A+\angle B$.

In the figure given alongside, AB || CD, EF || BC, ∠BAC = 60º and ∠DHF = 50º. Find ∠GCH and ∠AGH.

In the given figure, AB || CD and AC is the transversal.

∴ ∠ACD = ∠BAC = 60º     (Pair of alternate angles)

Or ∠GCH = 60º

Now, ∠GHC = ∠DHF = 50º      (Vertically opposite angles)

In ∆GCH,

∠AGH = ∠GCH + ∠GHC       (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)

⇒ ∠AGH = 60º + 50º = 110º

Join A and D to produce AD to E.
Then,

Side AD of triangle ACD is produced to E.
(Exterior angle property)
Side AD of triangle ABD is produced to E.
(Exterior angle property)

$⇒x°=\left(\angle CAD+\angle DAB\right)+30°+45°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒x°=55°+30°+45°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒x°=130°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒x=130$

#### Question 19:

In the given figure, AD divides ∠BAC in the ratio 1 : 3 and AD = DB. Determine the value of x.

In $∆ABC$, we have:

#### Question 20:

Side BC of triangle ABC is produced to D.

Side AC of triangle ABC is produced to E.

$⇒\angle A+\angle B+\angle C+\angle D+\angle E+\angle F\mathbf{=}\mathbf{360}\mathbf{°}$

#### Question 22:

In the given figure, AMBC and AN is the bisector of ∠A. If ∠ABC = 70° and ∠ACB = 20°, then ∠MAN = ?

In $∆ABC$, we have:

In $∆ABM$, we have:

#### Question 23:

In the given figure, BAD || EF, ∠AEF = 55° and ∠ACB = 25°, find ∠ABC.

In the given figure, EF || BD and CE is the transversal.

∴ ∠CAD = ∠AEF         (Pair of corresponding angles)

In ∆ABC,

∠CAD = ∠ABC + ∠ACB       (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)

⇒ 55° = ∠ABC + 25°

⇒ ∠ABC = 55° − 25° = 30°

Thus, the measure of ∠ABC is 30°.

#### Question 24:

In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 2 : 1 and ACCD. Find the measure of ∠ECD.

Let
From $∆ABC$, we have:

Side BC of triangle ABC is produced to E.
$\therefore \angle ACE=\angle A+\angle B\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle ACD+\angle ECD=\left(90+60\right)°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒90°+\angle ECD=150°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle ECD=60°$

#### Question 25:

In the given figure, AB || DE and BD || FG such that ∠ABC = 50° and ∠FGH = 120°. Find the values of x and y.

We have, ∠FGE + ∠FGH = 180°       (Linear pair of angles)

y + 120° = 180°

⇒ y = 180° − 120° = 60°

Now, AB || DF and BD is the transversal.

∴ ∠ABD = ∠BDF           (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠BDF = 50°

Also, BD || FG and DF is the transversal.

∴ ∠BDF = ∠DFG           (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠DFG = 50°       .....(1)

In ∆EFG,

∠FGH = ∠EFG + ∠FEG       (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles)

⇒ 120° = 50° + x                   [Using (1)]

⇒ x = 120° − 50° = 70°

Thus, the values of x and y are 70° and 60°, respectively.

#### Question 26:

In the given figure, AB || CD and EF is a transversal. If ∠AEF = 65°, ∠DFG = 30°, ∠EGF = 90° and ∠GEF = x°, find the value of x.

It is given that, AB || CD and EF is a transversal.

∴ ∠EFD = ∠AEF          (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠EFD = 65°

⇒ ∠EFG + ∠GFD = 65°

⇒ ∠EFG + 30° = 65°

⇒ ∠EFG = 65° − 30° = 35°

In ∆EFG,

∠EFG + ∠GEF + ∠EGF = 180°           (Angle sum property)

⇒ 35° + x + 90° = 180°

⇒ 125° + x = 180°

⇒ x = 180° − 125° = 55°

Thus, the value of x is 55°.

#### Question 27:

In the given figure, AB || CD, ∠BAE = 65° and ∠OEC = 20°. Find ∠ECO.

In the given figure, AB || CD and AE is the transversal.

∴ ∠DOE = ∠BAE         (Pair of corresponding angles)

⇒ ∠DOE = 65°

In ∆COE,

∠DOE = ∠OEC + ∠ECO          (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

⇒ 65° = 20° + ∠ECO

⇒ ∠ECO = 65° − 20° = 45°

Thus, the measure of ∠ECO is 45°.

#### Question 28:

In the given figure, AB || CD and EF is a transversal, cutting them at G and H respectively. If ∠EGB = 35° and QP ⊥ EF, find the measure of ∠PQH.

In the given figure, AB || CD and EF is a transversal.

∴ ∠PHQ = ∠EGB          (Pair of alternate exterior angles)

⇒ ∠PHQ = 35°

In ∆PHQ,

∠PHQ + ∠QPH + ∠PQH = 180°     (Angle sum property)

⇒ 35° + 90° + x = 180°

⇒ 125° + x = 180°

x = 180° − 125° = 55°

Thus, the measure of ∠PQH is 55°.

#### Question 29:

In the given figure, AB || CD and EF ⊥ AB. If EG is the transversal such that ∠GED = 130°, find ∠EGF.

In the given figure, AB || CD and GE is the transversal.

∴ ∠GED + ∠EGF = 180°       (Sum of adjacent interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary)

⇒ 130° + ∠EGF = 180°

⇒ ∠EGF = 180° − 130° = 50°

Thus, the measure of ∠EGF is 50°.

#### Question 1:

In ∆ABC, if 3∠A = 4∠B = 6∠C then A : B : C = ?
(a) 3 : 4 : 6
(b) 4 : 3 : 2
(c) 2 : 3 : 4
(d) 6 : 4 : 3

LCM of 3, 4 and 6 = 12

3∠A = 4∠B = 6∠C      (Given)

Dividing throughout by 12, we get

$\frac{3\angle \mathrm{A}}{12}=\frac{4\angle \mathrm{B}}{12}=\frac{6\angle \mathrm{C}}{12}$

$⇒\frac{\angle \mathrm{A}}{4}=\frac{\angle \mathrm{B}}{3}=\frac{\angle \mathrm{C}}{2}$

Let $\frac{\angle \mathrm{A}}{4}=\frac{\angle \mathrm{B}}{3}=\frac{\angle \mathrm{C}}{2}=k$, where k is some constant

Then, ∠A = 4k,  ∠B = 3k, ∠C = 2k

∴ ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 4k : 3k : 2k = 4 : 3 : 2

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(d) 30°

$\therefore \angle A+\angle B=\angle ACD\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle A+50°=110°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle A=60°$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(a) 65°
(b) 45°
(c) 55°
(d) 35°

(a) 65°

We have :

Side AB of triangle ABC is produced to E.
$\therefore \angle CAE=\angle ABC+\angle ACB\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒135°=70°+\angle ACB\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle ACB=65°$

#### Question 6:

The sides BC, CA and AB of ∆ABC have been produced to D, E and F, respectively. ∠BAE + ∠CBF + ACD = ?
(a) 240°

(a) 20
(b) 25
(c) 30
(d) 35

In the given figure, ∠CAD = ∠EAF            (Vertically opposite angles)

In ∆ABD,

⇒ (x + 10)° + (x° + 30°) + 90° = 180°

⇒ 2x° + 130° = 180°

⇒ 2x° = 180° − 130° = 50°

⇒ x = 25

Thus, the value of x is 25.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

#### Question 8:

In the given figure, two rays BD and CE intersect at a point A. The side BC of ∆ABC have been produced on both sides to points F and G respectively. If ABF = x°, ∠ACG = y° and ∠DAE = z° then z = ?
(a) x + y – 180
(b) x + y + 180
(c) 180 – (x + y)
(d) x + y + 360°

In the given figure, ∠ABF + ∠ABC = 180°         (Linear pair of angles)

∴ x° + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° − x°        .....(1)

Also, ∠ACG + ∠ACB = 180°         (Linear pair of angles)

∴ y° + ∠ACB = 180°

⇒ ∠ACB = 180° − y°        .....(2)

Also, ∠BAC = ∠DAE = z°       .....(3)         (Vertically opposite angles)

In ∆ABC,

∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°       (Angle sum property)

∴ z° + 180° − x° + 180° − y° = 180°        [Using (1), (2) and (3)]

⇒ zxy − 180

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

#### Question 9:

In the given figure, lines AB and CD intersect at a point O. The sides CA and OB have been produced to E and F respectively such that ∠OAE = x° and ∠DBF = y°.

If ∠OCA = 80°, ∠COA = 40° and ∠BDO = 70° then x° + y° = ?
(a) 190°
(b) 230°
(c) 210°
(d) 270°

In the given figure, ∠BOD = ∠COA          (Vertically opposite angles)

∴ ∠BOD = 40°        .....(1)

In ∆ACO,

∠OAE = ∠OCA + ∠COA        (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

⇒ x° = 80° + 40° = 120°           .....(2)

In ∆BDO,

∠DBF = ∠BDO + ∠BOD        (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

⇒ y° = 70° + 40° = 110°           [Using (1)]         .....(3)

Adding (2) and (3), we get

x° + y° = 120° + 110° = 230°

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(a) 60°
(b) 50°
(c) 40°
(d) 25°

Let

Side BC of triangle ABC is produced to E.
$\therefore \angle ACE=\angle A+\angle B\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle ACD+\angle ECD=90°+60°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒90°+\angle ECD=150°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle ECD=60°$
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

(a) 130°

(a) 60
(b) 50
(c) 45
(d) 35

Disclaimer: In the question ACD should be 7y°.

In the given figure, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°         (Linear pair of angles)

∴ 5y° + 7y° = 180°

⇒ 12y° = 180°

⇒ y = 15         .....(1)

In ∆ABC,

∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180°       (Angle sum property)

∴ 3y° + x° + 5y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8 × 15° = 180°              [Using (1)]

⇒ x° + 120° = 180°

⇒ x° = 180° − 120° = 60°

Thus, the value of x is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
