Question 8: An angle is greater than 45°. Is its complementary angle greater than 45° or equal to 45° or less than 45°?
Answer: Less than 45°
Question 9: In the adjoining figure:

- Is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2?
- Is ∠AOC adjacent to &agnle;AOE?

Question 10: Indicate which pairs of angles are:

- Vertically opposite angles
- Linear pairs
Answer: (i) ∠1 and ∠4 (ii) ∠5 and ∠1 & ∠5 and ∠4
Question 11: In the following figure, is °1 adjacent to °2? Give reasons.

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:


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°`
