Chapter 6 Lines and Angles

Lines and angles are basic geometric concepts. A line contains collinear points and forms a line segment between two endpoints. Intersecting lines share a common point, and concurrent lines intersect at the same point. An angle is formed by two rays with a common initial point. Angles can be acute, right, obtuse, or straight depending on their measure. Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees. Supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees. A triangle is a closed figure with three line segments. Triangles can be scalene, isosceles, equilateral, or right depending on side lengths and angles. The sum of interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. An exterior angle is equal to

VERYSHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS [1 mark
1. Atransversal intersectstwo lines in such a way that the two interior angles on the same side of

1. In Fig 6.34, 40> ZR, PA is the bisector
of QPR and PM 1 QR. Prove that ZAPM=(4-4R).
[NCERT Exempiar]
Sol. Since PA is the bisector of LQPR
4QPA = LAPR

In APQM, we have Fig. 6.34


LPQM + LPMQ+ 4QPM = 180° (Angle sum property

LPQM +90°+ 2QPM 180°


LPQM = 90°- 2QPM

In APMR, we have
LPMR + LPRM + ZRPM =180
90°+ ZPRM + ZRPM = 180°

ZPRM = 180°- 90°- ZRPM

ZR = 90°- LRPM .22)

Subtracting (i) from (i), we get


LQ-LR = (90°- 2QPM) - (90°-ZRPM)
20-LR = LRPM -4QPM

L0-LR =
(ZRPA + LAPM) -(2QPA -

APM) .)
4-LR =
4QPA + LAPM-2QPA + LAPM [Using )
40- LR =22APM
Hence, 4PM = (Q-4R).

3. Prove that a triangle must have atleast two acute angles. [NCERT Exemplar
Sol. Let us assume a triangle ABC which has only one acute angle (say ZA)
Then we have the following three cases:

)The other two angles (B and 2C) are right angles.


Then 4 + ZB + 2C = 2A + 90°+ 90° = LA + 180°> 180° which is not possible.
() The other two angles (ZB and 2C) angles.

Then 24+ ZB + 2C> 180° which is not possible.


is obtuse.
() One angle (say ZB) is right and the other angle (ZC)
Then 2A+ ZB + 2C> 180° which is not possible as we know that sum of the three angles
of a triangle is 180° by angle sum property of a triangle.
Thus, a triangle must have atleast two acute angles.
