(ii) RIGHTANGLE An angle whose measure is 90° is called a right angle. (iii) OBTUSE ANGLE An angle whose measure is more than 90° but less than 180° is called an obtuse angle. (iv) STRAIGHTANGLE An angle whose measure is 180° is called a straight angle. (v) REFLEXANGLE An angle whose measure is more than 180° but less than 360° is called a reflex angle. (vi) COMPLETE ANGLE An angle whose measure is 360° is called a complete angle.

Hence, the measure of the Tequired angle is 74° Two supplementary angles are in the ratio 3 : 2. Find the Let the measures of the given angl; ° pet gles be (3x)? and (2x) angles, Since the given angles are supplementary, 3x+2x= 180 > 5x=180 > x= 36, we have the measures of the given angl S es are (3X 36)" (2% 36)", ie, 108° and 72° respectively. ere The supplement of an angle is one third of the given angle. Find the measures of the given angle and its supplement, Let the measure of the given angle be x°. Then, the measure of its supplement = (180- xy 180-x= 3x = 3(180-x) =x => 540-3x=x = 4¢=540 > x= 135. Hence, the measure of the given angle is 135° and the measure of its supplement is (180 - 135)° = 45°. Find the measure of an angle, if seven times its complement is 10° less than three times its supplement Let the measure of the required angle be x°, Then, its complement = (90 x)° and its supplement = (180-2) 7(90 - x) = 3(180-x) - 10 => 630-7x = 540-3x-10 => 4x=100 > x=35. Hence, the measure of the required angle is 25°.
