17. Find the measure of an angle which is 32° less than its supplement.
Solution:
Let the measure of its supplement be x° – (x – 32)°.
Then, = x° – (x -32)° = 180°

18. Two complementary angles are in ratio of 4:5. Find the angles.
Solution:
Let the two angles be 4x and 5x, respectively.
Then, 4x + 5x = 90°
9x = 90°
x = 10°
Hence, the two angles are
4x = 4 x 10° = 40° and 5x = 5 x 10° = 50°

19. In the given figure, if PQ || RS, then find the measure of m.


Solution:

20. In the given figure, PQ || RS and EF || QS. If ∠PQS = 60°, then find the measure of ∠RFE.
Solution:
Since PQ || RS
∠PQS + ∠QSR = 180° (Co - interior angles)
60°+ ∠QSR = 180°
∠QSR = 120°
Now EF || QS
∠RFE = ∠QSR (Corresponding angles)
∠RFE = 120°

21. In figure, if AB || CD. If ∠ABR = 45° and ∠ROD = 105°, then find ∠ODC.
Solution:
Through O, draw a line ‘l’ parallel to AB.
⇒ line I will also parallel to CD, then
∠1 = 45° [Alternate interior angles]
∠1 + ∠2 + 105° = 180° [straight angle]
∠2 = 180° – 105° – 45°
⇒ ∠2 = 30°
Now, ∠ODC = ∠2 [Alternate interior angles] l
⇒ ∠ODC = 30°

22. In the given figure, rays OC, OP and OQ stand on the line AB.
If ∠AOP = 30°, ∠BOQ = 50° and ∠COP:∠COQ = 2:3, then find ∠COP, ∠COQ
and ∠COB.
Solution:
If ∠AOP = 𝟑𝟎°, ∠BOQ = 𝟓𝟎° and ∠COP:∠COQ = 2:3
∠AOP + ∠COP + ∠COQ + ∠BOQ = 𝟏𝟖𝟎°

300 + 2x + 3x + 500 = 180
80° + 5x = 180°
5x = 180° – 80°
5x = 100°
x = 20°
∠COP = 2x = 2 x 20° = 40°
∠COQ = 3x = 3 x 20° = 60°
∠COB = ∠COQ + ∠BOQ = 𝟔𝟎° + 𝟓𝟎° = 𝟏𝟏𝟎°

Solution:
In the figure, PQ II RS. Find ∠ XMY.
Construction: Draw AB through M parallel to PQ and RS.
As PQ II AB, u + 135° = 180° (Co interior angles)
∴ u = 45°

As AB II RS, v = 40° (Alternate angles are equal)
∠ XMY = u + v
= 45° + 40°
= 85°

∴ y = 125°
x = y (Corresponding angles as AB II CD)
∴ x = 125°
As AB II EF,
∠BAE + ∠FEA = 180° (Co interior angles)
∴ ∠FEA = 90°
∴ z + 55 = 90°
∴ z = 35°
∴ x = 125°
y = 125°
z = 35°
