Chapter 2 Parallel Lines and Transversals Practice Set 2.2 Solutions

Practice Set 2.2 8th Std Maths Answers Chapter 2 Parallel Lines and Transversals

Hint:

line m || line n and line p is a transversal.
∴ m∠BFG + m∠FGD = 180°
…[Interior angles]
∴ 3x + x = 180°
∴ 4x = 180°
∴ x =
∴ x = 45°

ii. In the given figure, if line a || line b and line l is a transversal, then find x.

(A) 90°
(B) 60°
(C) 45°
(D) 30°
Solution:
(D) 30°

Hint:

line a || line b and line l is a transversal.
∴ m∠UVS = m∠PUV
…[Alternate angles]
= 4x
m∠UVS + m∠WVS = 180°
… [Angles in a linear pair]
∴ 4x + 2x = 180°
∴ 6x = 180°
∴ x =
∴ x = 30°

ii. Consider ∠w as shown in the figure.
m∠w + 70° = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠w = 180° – 70°
∴ m∠w = 110° …(ii)
line p || line q and line s is a transversal.
∴ m∠y = m∠w …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠y =110° …[From (ii)]
∴ m∠x = 140°, m∠y = 110°

ii. line l || line m and line p is a transversal.
∴ m∠c = 80° …(i) [Exterior alternate angles]

iii. line p || line q and line m is a transversal.
∴ m∠b = m∠c … [Corresponding angles]
m∠b = 80° …[From (i)]
∴ m∠a = 100°, m∠b = 80°, m∠c = 80°

ii. m∠y = m∠x … [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠y = 105° …[From (i)]

iii. m∠z + 105° = 180° …[Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠z = 180°- 105°
∴ m∠z = 75°
∴ m∠x = 105°, m∠y = 105°, m∠z = 75°

ii. m∠c = m∠b …[Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠c = 120°...(iii) [From (ii)]

iii. m∠d = m∠a …[Vertically opposite angles]
∴ m∠d = 60° …(iv) [From (i)]

iv. m∠e = m∠d …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠e = 60° … [From (iv)]

v. m∠f = m∠c …[Alternate angles]
∴ m∠f = 120° …[From (iii)]

vi. m∠g = m∠d …[Corresponding angles]
∴ m∠g = 60° … [From (iv)]

vii. m∠h = m∠c … [Corresponding angles]
∴ m∠h = 120° …[From (iii)]
