Class –VII Mathematics (Ex. 5.1)

Question 1.Find the complement of each of the following angles:

Answer:

Complementary angle = {tex}{90^ \circ } – {/tex} given angle

(i) Complement of {tex}{20^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{90^ \circ } – {20^ \circ } = {70^ \circ }{/tex}

(ii) Complement of {tex}{63^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{90^ \circ } – {63^ \circ } = {27^ \circ }{/tex}

Complement of {tex}{57^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{90^ \circ } – {57^ \circ } = {33^ \circ }{/tex}

Question 2.Find the supplement of each of the following angles:

Answer:

Supplementary angle = {tex}{180^ \circ } – {/tex} given angle

(i) Supplement of {tex}{105^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{180^ \circ } – {105^ \circ } = {75^ \circ }{/tex}

(ii) Supplement of {tex}{87^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{180^ \circ } – {87^ \circ } = {93^ \circ }{/tex}

Supplement of {tex}{154^ \circ }{/tex} = {tex}{180^ \circ } – {154^ \circ } = {26^ \circ }{/tex}

Question 3.Identify which of the following pairs of angles are complementary and which are supplementary:

(i) {tex}65^\circ ,115^\circ {/tex}

(ii) {tex}63^\circ ,27^\circ {/tex}

(iii) {tex}112^\circ ,68^\circ {/tex}

(iv) {tex}130^\circ ,50^\circ {/tex}

(v) {tex}45^\circ ,45^\circ {/tex}

(vi) {tex}80^\circ ,10^\circ {/tex}

Answer:

If sum of two angles is {tex}{180^ \circ }{/tex}, then they are called supplementary angles.

If sum of two angles is {tex}{90^ \circ },{/tex} then they are called complementary angles.

(i) {tex}65^\circ + 115^\circ = 180^\circ {/tex} These are supplementary angles.

(ii) {tex}63^\circ + 27^\circ = 90^\circ {/tex} These are complementary angles.

(iii) {tex}112^\circ + 68^\circ = 180^\circ {/tex} These are supplementary angles.

(iv) {tex}130^\circ + 50^\circ = 180^\circ {/tex} These are supplementary angles.

(v) {tex}{45^ \circ } + {45^ \circ } = {90^ \circ }{/tex} These are complementary angles.

(vi) {tex}80^\circ + 10^\circ = 90^\circ {/tex} These are complementary angles.

Question 4.Find the angle which is equal to its complement:

Answer:

Let one of the two equal complementary angles be {tex}x.{/tex}

{tex}\therefore {/tex} {tex}x + x = {90^ \circ }{/tex} {tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}2x = {90^ \circ }{/tex}{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x = \frac{{{{90}^ \circ }}}{2} = {45^ \circ }{/tex}

Thus, {tex}{45^ \circ }{/tex} is equal to its complement.

Question 5.Find the angle which is equal to its supplement.

Answer:

Let {tex}x{/tex} be two equal angles of its supplement.

Therefore, {tex}x + x = 180^\circ {/tex} [Supplementary angles]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}2x = 180^\circ {/tex}

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x = \frac{{180^\circ }}{2} = {90^ \circ }{/tex}

Thus, {tex}{90^ \circ }{/tex} is equal to its supplement.

Question 6.In the given figure, {tex}\angle {/tex}1 and {tex}\angle {/tex}2 are supplementary angles. If {tex}\angle {/tex}1 is decreased, what changes should take place in {tex}\angle {/tex}2 so that both the angles still remain supplementary?

Answer:

I f{tex}\angle {/tex}1 is decreased then, {tex}\angle {/tex}2 will increase with the same measure, so that both the angles still remain supplementary.

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

(i) acute

(ii) obtuse

(iii) right?

Answer:

(i) No, because sum of two acute angles is less than {tex}180^\circ .{/tex}

(ii) No, because sum of two obtuse angles is more than {tex}180^\circ .{/tex}

(iii) Yes, because sum of two right angles is {tex}180^\circ .{/tex}

Question 8. An angle is greater than {tex}{45^ \circ }.{/tex} Is its complementary angle greater than {tex}{45^ \circ }{/tex} or equal to {tex}{45^ \circ }{/tex} or less than {tex}{45^ \circ }?{/tex}

Answer:

Let the complementary angles be {tex}x{/tex} and {tex}y,{/tex} i.e., {tex}x + y = {90^ \circ }{/tex}

It is given that {tex}x > {45^ \circ }{/tex}

Adding {tex}y{/tex} both sides, {tex}x + y > {45^ \circ } + y{/tex}

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}{90^ \circ } > {45^ \circ } + y{/tex} {tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}{90^ \circ } – {45^ \circ } > y{/tex}{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}y < {45^ \circ }{/tex}

Thus, its complementary angle is less than {tex}{45^ \circ }.{/tex}

(iii) Yes, they form linear pair.

(iv) Yes, they are supplementary.

Question 10.Indicate which pairs of angles are:

1. Vertically opposite angles?
2. Linear pairs?

Answer:

(i) Vertically opposite angles, {tex}\angle {/tex}1, {tex}\angle {/tex}4; {tex}\angle {/tex}5, {tex}\angle {/tex}2 + {tex}\angle {/tex}3.

(ii) Linear pairs {tex}\angle {/tex}1, {tex}\angle {/tex}5; {tex}\angle {/tex}5, {tex}\angle {/tex}4.

Answer:

{tex}\angle {/tex}1 and {tex}\angle {/tex}2 are not adjacent angles because their vertex is not common.

Question 12.Find the values of the angles {tex}x,y{/tex} and {tex}z{/tex} in each of the following:

Answer:

(i) {tex}x = 55^\circ {/tex} [Vertically opposite angles]

Now {tex}55^\circ + y = 180^\circ {/tex} [Linear pair]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}y = 180^\circ – 55^\circ = 125^\circ {/tex}

Also {tex}y = z = 125^\circ {/tex} [Vertically opposite angles]

Thus, {tex}x = 55^\circ ,y = 125^\circ {/tex} and {tex}z = 125^\circ .{/tex}

(ii) {tex}40^\circ + x + 25^\circ = 180^\circ {/tex} [Angles on straight line]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}65^\circ + x = 180^\circ {/tex}

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x = 180^\circ – 65^\circ {/tex} = {tex}115^\circ {/tex}

Now {tex}40^\circ + y = 180^\circ {/tex} [Linear pair]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}y = 180^\circ – 40^\circ = 140^\circ {/tex} ……….(i)

Also {tex}y + z = 180^\circ {/tex} [Linear pair]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}140^\circ + z = 180^\circ {/tex} [From eq. (i)]

{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}z = 180^\circ – 140^\circ = 40^\circ {/tex}

Thus, {tex}x = 115^\circ ,y = 140^\circ {/tex} and {tex}z = 40^\circ .{/tex}

2. Adjacent complementary angles.
3. Equal supplementary angles.
4. Unequal supplementary angles.
