(i) Explanation

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 90o then, the angles are known as complementary angles.

Here, the measurement of one of the angles is given, which is 20o

Now, let’s suppose that the measure of another angle as xo.

So, according to the condition given in the question er can write 

= x + 20o = 90o

= x = 90o – 20o

= x = 70o

Therefore, the complement angle of 20o is 70o.

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 90o then, the angles are known as complementary angles.

Here, the measurement of one of the angles is given, which is 63o

Now, let’s suppose that the measure of another angle as xo.

So, according to the condition given in the question er can write

Here, the measurement of one of the angles is given, which is 105o

Now, let’s suppose that the measure of another angle as xo.

So, according to the condition given in the question er can write

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

Explanation

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 90o then, the angles are known as complementary angles.

Here it is given that both the angle should be equal.

So, let’s suppose that the measure of both the angles as xo.

Now, according to the condition given in the question er can write 

= x + x = 90o

= 2x = 90o

= x = 90o/2

Explanation

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 180o then, the angles are known as supplementary angles.

Here it is given that both the angle should be equal.

So, let’s suppose that the measure of both the angles as xo.

Now, according to the condition given in the question er can write 

= x + x = 180o

= 2x = 180o

= x = 180o/2

= x = 90o

Therefore, the measurement of the angle is 90o.

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

Explanation

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 180o then, the angles are known as supplementary angles.

From the figure we can see that

1 and 2 are supplementary angles. 

Now, when we decrease 1, the summation of 1 and 2 will fall down below 180 and then both the angles would not remain supplementary.

So, to maintain the supplementary angle we need to increase the measurement of angle 2 by the same value.


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

(i). Acute?

(ii). Obtuse?

(iii). Right?

Explanation

(i) supplementary angles.

Now if both the angles are acute angles, which means less than 90o, then the sum of their measurement will be always less than 180o.

No, two acute angles will not be supplementary angles. 

(ii)

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 180o then, the angles are known as supplementary angles.

Now if both the angles are obtuse angles, which means more than 90o, then the sum of their measurement will be always more than 180o.

No, two obtuse angles will not be supplementary angles.

(iii)

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 180o then the angles are known as supplementary angles.

Now if both the angles are right angles, which means both the angles will measure 90o, then the sum of their measurement will be equal to 180o.

90+ 90o = 180

yes, two right angles will be supplementary angles. 


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

Explanation

As we know that, when the summation of two angles is 90o then, the angles are known as complementary angles.

Let’s suppose that the complementary angles are x and y.

= x + y = 90o

But in the question, it is given that one angle is greater than 45 o.

So, suppose that x > 45 o.

Now add y on both the side of above equation,

= x + y > 45+ y

= 90o > 45+ y

= 90o – 45o > y

= y < 45o

Therefore, the measurement of the complementary angle is less than 45o.

1 and 5, 5 and 4 are linear pairs.


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

Explanation

The angles which have common vertex and also have non-common side opposite to common side are known as adjacent angles.

Here, from the figure we can say that the vertex of 1 and 2 are not same.

So, 1 and 2 are not adjacent angles.


12. Find the values of the angles x, y, and z in each of the following:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

Explanation

(i)

Here, from the figure we can say that x + y = 180o and 55o + y = 180o

So, by solving the above equation,

= 55o + y = 180o

= y = 180o – 55o

= y = 125o

Now, y = z because they are vertically opposite angles 

z = 125o

Now, x + y = 180o

=x + 125o = 180o

= x = 180o – 125o

= ∠x = 55o

(ii)

Here, from the figure we can say that

z and 40o are vertically opposite angles, so z = 40o.

y and z are linear pairs, so y + z = 180o.

= y + 40o = 180o

= y = 180o – 40o

= y = 140o

Now, we know that, on a straight line the summation of all the angles is 180o.

40 + x + 25 = 180o 

65 + x = 180o

x = 180o – 65

x = 115o

(v) If two lines intersect at a point, then the vertically opposite angles are always

_____________.

(vi) If two lines intersect at a point, and if one pair of vertically opposite angles are acute angles, then the other pair of vertically opposite angles are __________.


Explanation

(i)

If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90o.

Complementary angles are such angles, whose summation always remains 90o.

(ii)

If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures is 180o.

Supplementary angles are such angles, whose summation always remains 180o.

(iii)

Two angles forming a linear pair are supplementary.

The angles which have common vertex and also have non-common side opposite to each other are known as linear pairs. Non-common side are opposite to each other means they will form a straight line and according to the condition of straight line, the summation of all the angles on the straight line are always 180o.  which is the same condition for the supplementary angles.

(iv)

If two adjacent angles are supplementary, they form a linear

The angles which have common vertex and also have non-common side opposite to each other are known as linear pairs. Non-common side are opposite to each other means they will form a straight line and according to the condition of straight line, the summation of all the angles on the straight line are always 180o.  which is the same condition for the supplementary angles.

(v)

If two lines intersect at a point, then the vertically opposite angles are always equal.

When two straight lines are intersecting at a point, according to the geometry the angles formed opposite to each other are know as vertically opposite angles and the measurement always remain equal to each other.

(vi)

If two lines intersect at a point, and if one pair of vertically opposite angles are acute angles, then the other pair of vertically opposite angles are obtuse angles.

We know that acute angles are those angles whose measurement are less than 90o.  

Now, if one pair is acute angles which means their summation will be less than 180o.

We know that, when two straight lines intersect their summation of all the angles is 360o

So, if the summation of two angle is less than 180o then the summation of other two angles should be more than 180o.

This condition is possible only if the other two angles are obtuse angles
