 Geometry Exercise with Solutions
1. In figure 3-43, l is parallel to m and
180
o
 x y z
+ + =
. The degree measure ofthe angles
, ,
 x y z
respectively is:
(a)
45 ,55 ,80
o o o
 (b)
50 ,45 ,85
o o o
 (c)
45 ,50 ,85
o o o
 (d)
35 ,60 ,85
o o o
 
Sol: Correct option is (c)
Since lines l IS PARALLEL TO m and line
l
is the transversal, Therefore
a
∠
and
135
o
∠
form a pair of corresponding angles.Thus,
135
o
a
∠ =∠
 Now,
 x
∠
and
a
∠
form a linear pair.
Therefore 180
o
a x
∠ +∠ =
 or
135 180
o o
 x
+∠ =
 
 
or
180 135
o o
 x
∠ = −
 or
45
o
 x
∠ =
… (1)Further,
85
o
∠
and
 z
∠
form a pair of vertically opposite angles.
Therefore 85
o
 z
∠ =
… (2)It is given that
180
o
 x y z
∠ +∠ +∠ =
 
Therefore 45 85 180
o o o
 y
+∠ + =
 or
180 45 85
o o o
 y
∠ = − −
 or
50
o
 y
∠ =
… (3)From equation (1), (2) and (3), we find that
45
o
 x
=
,
50
o
 y
=
and
85
o
 z
=
 
2.
l
and
m
are parallel lines intersected by a transversal
n
at P and Qrespectively. The values of angles
,
 x y
and
 z
respectively are:
(a)
43 ,137 ,137
o o o
 (b)
43 ,43 ,43
o o o
 (c)
137 ,43 ,137
o o o
 (d)
137 ,137 ,43
o o o
 
Sol: Correct option is (b)
 
 
Intersection of lines
m
and
n
at Q forms a linear pair.
Therefore 137 180
o o
 x
+ =
 or
180 137
o o
 x
= −
 or
43
o
 x
∠ =
… (1)Now, angles
 x
∠
and
 y
∠
form a pair of alternate interior angles as line
l
line
m
and
n
is the transversal.
Therefore
 x y
∠ =∠
 or
43
o
 y
=∠
 or
43
o
 y
∠ =
… (2)The intersection of lines
l
and
n
forms a pair of vertically opposite angles
 y
∠
and
 z
∠
 
Therefore
 z y
∠ =∠
 or
43
o
 z
∠ =
 Hence
43
o
 x
=
,
43
o
 y
∠ =
and
43
o
 z
∠ =
