Question 1.
List ten figures around you and identify the acute, obtuse and right angles found in them.
Solution:
It is an activity. Please do it yourself.

Think, Discuss and write (Page 95)

Question 1.
Can two acute angles be complement to each other?
Solution:
Yes.
For example, 30Ā° is an acute angle and 60Ā° is also an acute angle.
Since, 30Ā° + 60Ā° = 90Ā°
āˆ“ 30Ā° and 60Ā° are complementary angles, i.e. two acute angles can be complement to each other.

Question 2.
Can two obtuse angles be complement to each other?
Solution:
No.
An obtuse angle has its measure greater than 90Ā°. Therefore, sum of two obtuse angles cannot be equal to 90Ā°, i.e. they cannot be complement to each other.

Question 1.
Which pairs of following angles are complementary?
GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles InText Questions 1
(i) Since 70Ā° + 20Ā° = 90Ā°
āˆ“ Angles 70Ā° and 20Ā° are complementary.

(ii) āˆµ 75Ā° + 25Ā° = 100Ā° and 100Ā° ā‰  90Ā°
āˆ“ Angles 75Ā° and 25Ā° are not complementary.

(iii) āˆµ 48Ā° + 52Ā° = 100Ā° and 100Ā° ā‰  90Ā°
āˆ“ The angles 48Ā° and 52Ā° are not complementary.

(iv) āˆµ 35Ā° + 55Ā° = 90Ā°
āˆ“ The angles 35Ā° and 55Ā° are complementary.

GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles InText Questions

Question 2.
What is the measure of the complement of each of the following angles?
(i) 45Ā°
(ii) 65Ā°
(iii) 41Ā°
(iv) 54Ā°
Solution:
(i) Let the complement of 45Ā° be x.
āˆ“ x + 45Ā° = 90Ā° or x = 90Ā° – 45Ā° = 45Ā°
āˆ“ Complement of 45Ā° is 45Ā°.

(ii) Let the complement of 65Ā° be p.
āˆ“ p + 65Ā° = 90Ā° or p = 90Ā° – 65Ā° = 25Ā°
āˆ“ The complement of 65Ā° is 25Ā°.

(iii) Let the complement of 41Ā° be m.
āˆ“ m + 41Ā° = 90Ā°
or m = 90Ā° – 41Ā°
or m = 49Ā°
Thus, the complement of 41Ā° is 49Ā°.

(iv) Let the complement of 54Ā° be y.
āˆ“ y + 54Ā° = 90Ā° or y = 90Ā° – 54Ā° = 36Ā°
Thus, the complement of 54Ā° is 36Ā°.

Question 3.
The difference in the measures of two complementary angles is 12Ā°. Find the measures of the angles.
Solution:
Let one of the angles be x.
āˆµ Their difference = 12Ā°
āˆ“ The other angle = x + 12Ā°
Since, the sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90Ā°.
āˆ“ x + (x + 12Ā°) = 90Ā°
or 2x = 90Ā° – 12Ā°
or 2x = 78Ā°
Dividing both sides by 2, we have
\(\frac { 2x }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 78Ā° }{ 2 }\) or x = 39Ā°
āˆ“ One angle =39Ā°
And the other angle = 39Ā° + 12Ā° = 51Ā°

The measure of an acute angle is less than 90Ā°.
Therefore, the sum of two acute angles is less than 180Ā°.
āˆ“ Two acute angles cannot be supplementary.

Find the pairs of supplementary angles in the following figures:
GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles InText Questions 2
Solution:
(i) Measures of the given angles are 110Ā° and 50Ā°.
āˆµ 110Ā° + 50Ā° = 160Ā° and 160Ā° ā‰  180Ā°
āˆ“ 110Ā° and 50Ā° are not a pair of supplementary angles.

(ii) Measures of the given angles are 105Ā° and 65Ā°.
āˆµ 105Ā° + 65Ā° = 170Ā° and 170Ā° ā‰  180Ā°
āˆ“ 105Ā° and 65Ā° are not a pair of supplementary angles.

(iii) Measures of the given angles are 50Ā° and 130Ā°.
āˆµ 50Ā° + 130Ā° = 180Ā°
āˆ“ 50Ā° and 130Ā° are a pair of supplementary angles.

(iv) Measures of the given angles are 45Ā° and 45Ā°.
āˆµ 45Ā° + 45Ā° = 90Ā° and 90Ā° ā‰  180Ā°

GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles InText Questions

Question 2.
What will be the measure of the supplement of each one of the following angles?
(i) 100Ā°
(ii) 90Ā°
(iii) 55Ā°
(iv) 125Ā°
Solution:
(i) Let the supplement of 100Ā° be x.
āˆ“ 100Ā° + x = 180Ā°
or x =180Ā° – 100Ā° = 80Ā°
The measure of the supplement of 100Ā° is 80Ā°.

(ii) Let the supplement of 90Ā° be x.
āˆ“ x + 90Ā° = 180Ā°
or x =180Ā° – 90Ā° = 90Ā°
āˆ“ The measure of the supplement of 90Ā° is 90Ā°.

(iii) Let the supplement of 55Ā° be m.
āˆ“ 55Ā° + m = 180Ā°
or m = 180Ā° – 55Ā°
or m = 125Ā°
āˆ“ The supplement of 55Ā° is 125Ā°.

(iv) Let the supplement of 125Ā° be y.
āˆ“ y + 125Ā° = 180Ā°
or y = 180Ā° – 125Ā°
or y = 55Ā°
āˆ“ The supplement of 125Ā° is 55Ā°.

Question 3.
Among two supplementary angles the measure of the larger angle is 44Ā° more than the measure of the smaller. Find their measures.
Solution:
Let the smaller angle be x.
āˆ“ The measure of the larger angle = (x + 44Ā°)
Since, the two angles are supplementary
āˆ“ x + (x + 44Ā°) = 180Ā°
or 2x + 44Ā° =180Ā°
or 2x = 180Ā° – 44Ā°
or 2x = 136Ā°
or x = \(\frac { 136Ā° }{ 2 }\)
āˆ“ The smaller angle = 68Ā°
Larger angle = 68Ā° + 44Ā° = 112Ā°

Question 1.
In the given figure, if āˆ 1 = 30Ā°, find āˆ 2 and āˆ 3.
Solution:
GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 5 Lines and Angles InText Questions 10
āˆµ āˆ 3 and āˆ 1 are vertically opposite angles,
