Question 3.
Find the value of ‘x’ in each of the following diagrams.
(i) x + 2x = 180°
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 8
Answer:
3x = 180°
x = \(\frac{180^{\circ}}{3}\) = 60°
∴ x= 60°

(ii) ∠COB = 90°
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 9
∠COD +∠DOB = 90°
4x + x=90°
5x = 90
x = \(\frac{90}{5}\)
x = 18°

(iii) ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 360° Complete angle
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 10
∠ AOC + x + x +∠ DOA = 360°
90 + 2x = 360° [∠ AOC +∠DOA = 90° ]
2x = 360 – 90
2x = 270
x = \(\frac{270}{2}\)
x = 135°

(iv) ∠AOB = 180°
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 11
∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180°
x – y + x + y = 180°
2x = 180°
x = \(\frac{180}{2}\)
x = 90°

(v) ∠COF= ∠EOD
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 12
∠COF = 3x
∴∠EOD = 3x
∠AOB = 180°
∠AOE + ∠EOD + ∠DOB = 180°
x + 3x + x + 30 = 180°
5x + 30 = 180°
5x = 180 – 30
5x = 150
x = \(\frac{150}{5}\)
x = 30°

(vi)
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 13
EF is a straight line
∴ x + y = 180° ………..(i)
DC is a straight line
∴ y+ 65° = 180° …(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
x + y = y + 65°
x + y – y = 65°
x = 65°

Question 4.
which pair of angles are supplementary in the following diagram? Are they supplementary rays?
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 14
Answer:
∠AOB and ∠COD are supplementary angles.
∠COB and ∠AOD are supplementary angles.
There are no supplementary rays in the diagram.

Question 5.
Suppose two adjacent angles are supplementary. Show that if one of them is an obtuse angle, then the other angle must be acute.
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Axioms, Postulates and Theorems Ex 3.2 15
Answer:
In the figure
∠APQ + ∠BPQ = 180° and ∠APQ is an obtuse angle.
To prove ∠BPQ < 90°
Construction: Draw a perpendicular SP at P
Proof: In the fig
∠ APS +∠SPQ + ∠QPS = 180°
90 + ∠SPQ + ∠QPB = 180°
∠SPQ + ∠QPB = 180-90
∠SPQ +∠QPB = 90
∴∠SPQ < 90° and∠QPB < 90°
∴∠QPB is an acute angle
∴∠APQ is an obtuse angle
