In each of the figure given below, AB||CD. Find the value of x in each case.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(i) x = 100
Given AB||CD, ∠ABE = 35° and ∠EDC = 65°
Draw a line PEQ||AB or CD
∠1 = ∠ABE = 35°[AB||PQ and alternate angle] _______________ (i)
∠2 = ∠EDC = 65°[CD||PQ and alternate angle] _______________ (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii)
∠1 + ∠2 = 100°
⇒ x = 100°
(ii) x=280
Given AB||CD, ∠ABE = 35° and ∠EDC = 65°
Draw a line POQ||AB or CD
∠1 = ∠ABO = 55°[AB||PQ and alternate angle] _______________ (i)
∠2 = ∠CDO = 25°[CD||PQ and alternate angle] _______________ (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii)
∠1 + ∠2 = 80°
Now,
∠BOD + ∠DOB = 360°
⇒ 80° + x° = 360°
⇒ x = 280°
(iii) x=120
Given AB||CD, ∠BAE = 116° and ∠DCE = 124°
Draw a line EF||AB or CD
∠BAE + ∠PAE = 180° [Because PAB is a straight line]
⇒ 116° + ∠3 = 180°
⇒ ∠3 = 180° - 116°
⇒ ∠3 = 64°
Therefore,
∠1 = ∠3 = 64° [Alternate angles] ____________________ (i)
Similarly, ∠4 = 180° - 124°
∠4 = 56°
Therefore,
∠2 = ∠4 = 56° [Alternate angles] ____________________ (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii)
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = 64° + 56°
⇒ x = 120°
