Exercise 5.1 Page: 101

1. Find the complement of each of the following angles:

(i)

Solution:-

Two angles are said to be complementary if the sum of their measures is 90^o .

The given angle is 20^o

Let the measure of its complement be x^o .

Then,

= x + 20^o = 90^o

= x = 90^o – 20^o

= x = 70^o

Hence, the complement of the given angle measures 70^o .

(ii)

Solution:-

Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180^o .

The given angle is 105^o

Let the measure of its supplement be x^o .

Then,

= x + 105^o = 180^o

= x = 180^o – 105^o

Solution:-

Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180^o .

The given angle is 87^o

Let the measure of its supplement be x^o .

Then,

= x + 87^o = 180^o

Solution:-

Two angles are said to be supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180^o .

The given angle is 154^o

Let the measure of its supplement be x^o .

Then,

= x + 154^o = 180^o

3. Identify which of the following pairs of angles are complementary and which are supplementary.

(i) 65^o , 115^o

Solution:-

We have to find the sum of given angles to identify whether the angles are complementary or supplementary.

Then,

= 65^o + 115^o

= 180^o

If the sum of two angle measures is 180^o , then the two angles are said to be supplementary.

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

(iii) 112^o , 68^o

Solution:-

We have to find the sum of given angles to identify whether the angles are complementary or supplementary.

Then,

= 112^o + 68^o

= 180^o

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(iv) 130^o , 50^o

Solution:-

We have to find the sum of given angles to identify whether the angles are complementary or supplementary.

Then,

= 130^o + 50^o

= 180^o

If the sum of two angle measures is 180^o , then the two angles are said to be supplementary.

∴ These angles are supplementary angles.

(v) 45^o , 45^o

Solution:-

We have to find the sum of given angles to identify whether the angles are complementary or supplementary.

Then,

= 45^o + 45^o

Solution:-

We have to find the sum of given angles to identify whether the angles are complementary or supplementary.

Then,

= 80^o + 10^o

= 90^o

If the sum of two angle measures is 90^o , then the two angles are said to be complementary.

∴ These angles are complementary angles.

4. Find the angles which are equal to their complement.

Solution:-

Let the measure of the required angle be x^o .

We know that the sum of measures of complementary angle pair is 90^o .

Then,

= x + x = 90^o

= 2x = 90^o

= x = 90/2

= x = 45^o

Hence, the required angle measure is 45^o .

5. Find the angles which are equal to their supplement.

Solution:-

Let the measure of the required angle be x^o .

We know that the sum of measures of supplementary angle pair is 180^o .

Then,

= x + x = 180^o

= 2x = 180^o

= x = 180/2

= x = 90^o

Hence, the required angle measure is 90^o .

6. In the given figure, ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If ∠1 is decreased, what changes should take place in ∠2 so that both angles still remain supplementary?

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 7

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles.

If ∠1 is decreased, then ∠2 must be increased by the same value. Hence, this angle pair remains supplementary.

7. Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are:

(i). Acute?

Solution:-

No. If two angles are acute, which means less than 90^o , then they cannot be supplementary because their sum will always be less than 90^o .

(ii). Obtuse?

Solution:-

No. If two angles are obtuse, which means more than 90^o , then they cannot be supplementary because their sum will always be more than 180^o .

(iii). Right?

Solution:-

Yes. If two angles are right, which means both measure 90^o , then they can form a supplementary pair.

∴ 90^o + 90^o = 180

8. An angle is greater than 45^o . Is its complementary angle greater than 45^o or equal to 45^o or less than 45^o ?

Solution:-

Let us assume the complementary angles be p and q,

We know that the sum of measures of complementary angle pair is 90^o .

Then,

= p + q = 90^o

It is given in the question that p >45^o

Adding q on both sides,

= p + q >45^o + q

= 90^o >45^o + q

= 90^o – 45^o >q

= q <45^o

Hence, its complementary angle is less than 45^o .

9. In the adjoining figure:

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 8

(i) Is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2?

Solution:-

By observing the figure, we came to conclude that,

Their non-common arms, OA and OE, are on both sides of the common arm.

(ii) Is ∠AOC adjacent to ∠AOE?

Solution:-

But, they have no non-common arms on both sides of the common arm.

(iii) Do ∠COE and ∠EOD form a linear pair?

Solution:-

By observing the figure, we came to conclude that,

∠1 and ∠5, ∠5 and ∠4, as these have a common vertex and also have non-common arms opposite to each other.

11. In the following figure, is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2? Give reasons.

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 10

Solution:-

∠1 and ∠2 are not adjacent angles because they are not lying on the same vertex.

(i)

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 11

Solution:-

∠x = 55^o , because vertically opposite angles.

∠x + ∠y = 180^o … [∵ linear pair]

= 55^o + ∠y = 180^o

= ∠y = 180^o – 55^o

= ∠y = 125^o

Then, ∠y = ∠z … [∵ vertically opposite angles]

∴ ∠z = 125^o

(ii)

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 12

Solution:-

∠z = 40^o , because vertically opposite angles.

∠y + ∠z = 180^o … [∵ linear pair]

= ∠y + 40^o = 180^o

= ∠y = 180^o – 40^o

= ∠y = 140^o

Then, 40 + ∠x + 25 = 180^o … [∵angles on straight line]

65 + ∠x = 180^o

∠x = 180^o – 65

∴ ∠x = 115^o

Solution:-

By observing the figure,

∠d = ∠125^o … [∵ corresponding angles]

We know that Linear pair is the sum of adjacent angles is 180^o

Then,

= ∠e + 125^o = 180^o … [Linear pair]

= ∠e = 180^o – 125^o

= ∠e = 55^o

From the rule of vertically opposite angles,

∠f = ∠e = 55^o

∠b = ∠d = 125^o

By the property of corresponding angles,

Then,

By the property of corresponding angles,

∠y = 110^o

We know that Linear pair is the sum of adjacent angles is 180^o

Then,

= ∠x + ∠y = 180^o

= ∠x + 110^o = 180^o

= ∠x = 180^o – 110^o

= ∠x = 70^o

(i)

Solution:-

Let us consider the two lines, l and m.

n is the transversal line intersecting l and m.

We know that the sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180^o .

Then,

= 126^o + 44^o

= 170^o

But, the sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal is not equal to 180^o .

So, line l is not parallel to line m.

(ii)

Solution:-

Let us assume ∠x be the vertically opposite angle formed due to the intersection of the straight line l and transversal n,

Then, ∠x = 75^o

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 23

Let us consider the two lines, l and m.

n is the transversal line intersecting l and m.

We know that the sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180^o .

Then,

= 75^o + 75^o

= 150^o

But, the sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal is not equal to 180^o .

So, line l is not parallel to line m.

(iii)

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 24

Solution:-

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 25

Let us consider the two lines, l and m.

n is the transversal line intersecting l and m.

We know that the sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180^o .

Then,

= 123^o + ∠x

= 123^o + 57^o

= 180^o

∴ The sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is equal to 180^o .

Let us assume ∠x be the angle formed due to the intersection of the Straight line l and transversal line n.

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles Image 27

We know that the Linear pair is the sum of adjacent angles equal to 180^o .

= ∠x + 98^o = 180^o

= ∠x = 180^o – 98^o

= ∠x = 82^o

Now, we consider ∠x and 72^o are the corresponding angles.

For l and m to be parallel to each other, corresponding angles should be equal.

But, in the given figure, corresponding angles measure 82^o and 72^o , respectively.

∴ Line l is not parallel to line m.
