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

lines and angles

Answer: They do not have common vertex. So, they are not adjacent angles.

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

lines and angles lines and angles

Answer: (i) `∠x-55°` (Vertically opposite angles)

`∠x+∠y=180°` (Linear pair of angles)

Or, `∠y+55°=180°`

Or, `∠y=180-55=125°`

Now, `∠z=∠y` (Vertically opposite angles)

So, `∠x=125°`

Thus, `x=55°`, `y=125°` and `z=125°`

Answer: (ii) `∠z=40°` (Vertically opposite angles)

`∠40°+x+25°=180°` (Angles on same side of a line)

So, `∠x=180-(40+25)=180-65=115°`

Now, `∠y=∠x=115°` (Vertically opposite angles)

Thus, `x=115°`, `y=115°` and `z=40°`
