SOLUTIONS
1. Of the three angles of a triangle, one is twice the smallest and another is three times the smallest.
Find the angles.
Sol. Let smallest angle = x
ATQ angles are x,2x and 3x.
x+2x+3x=180 ⇒ x=30
Angles = 30,60,90
2. The sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC are produced to P and Q respectively. If the
1
bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersects at Ia then prove that BlaC = 90 − A
2
Sol.

Bla bisects PBC and Cla bisects QCB

Let IaBP = IaBC = x and IaCB =IaCQ = y
ABC = 180° –2x and ACB = 180° – 2y
In ABC, A + B + C = 180°
 A + 180° – 2X + 180° –2Y = 180°
 x + y = 90° + 1/2 A
In Bl a C, x + y + l a = 180
1
 90 + A + la = 180

 Bl a C = 90 − A

3. In a quadrilateral ABCD, AO and BO are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B respectively, prove that
1
∠AOB = ( C + D )
2
Sol: In quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A + ∠B +∠C +∠D = 360°

 2X + 2Y + C + D = 360°
1
 x + y=180° − ( C + D )
2
In AOB, x + y + 1 = 180°
1
 180 − ( C + D ) + 1 = 180
2
1
 1 = ( C + D )

4. Can two internal angle bisector in a triangle be perpendicular?
Sol.

We know that BIC = 90° +1/2 A

If BIC =90 then A=0 not possible.

5. The interior angle of a n sided regular polygon is 48° more than the interior angle of a regular
hexagon. Find n.

Sol.
( n − 2 ) 180 = 48 + ( 6 − 2 )180
n 6

( n − 2 ) 180 = 168n
( n − 2 )  45 = 42n
3n = 90  n = 30
6. If all exterior angles of a polygon are obtuse then find the number of sides of the polygon.
Sol. Let no of sides = n
Each exterior angle grater than 90
Sum of angles > 90n
360 > 90n
n<4n=3
7. In the adjacent diagram, Find ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F + ∠G.

Sol.

A + G + B + P + Q = 540
ANGLE CASING - 1 5

A + G + B + C + D + E + F = 540 (as P = C + E and Q = D + F

8. In ∆ABC, AB = AC. D is a point on BC such that AB = CD. E on AB such that DE ⊥ AB. Prove that
2∠ADE = 3∠B.
Sol.

B = C = x & A = 180 – 2x
180 − x x
CAD = ADC = = 90 −

EDB = 90 – B = 90 –x
EDB + ADE + ADC = 180

2ADE = 3x = 3 B
9. In ∆ABC, the angle bisectors of the exterior angles of ∠A and ∠B intersect opposite sides CB
produced and AC produced at D and E respectively, and AD = AB = BE. Then find angle A.
Sol.

AB = BE ⇒ ∠E = ∠CAB = y
AB = AD ⇒ ∠D = ∠ABC = x

10. The sum of all interior angles of a convex n-sided polygon is less than 2007°. Find the maximum
value of n
Sol. From (n–2) × 180 < 2007° we have n –2 < 12 i.e. n < 14. When n = 13, the sum of interior
angles of convex 13 –sided polygon is 11 × 180° = 1980°, so the maximum value of n is 13.
