Therefore supplementary angle for the given angle is
180o – 70o = 110o

(ii) The two angles are said to be supplementary angles if the sum of those angles is 180o
Therefore supplementary angle for the given angle is
180o – 120o = 60o

180o

(ii) Yes, two right angles can be supplementary

Because, 90o + 90o = 180o

(iii) No, two acute angle cannot be supplementary

Because, the sum of two angles is less than 90o so their sum will also be less than 90o

∠ABE and ∠EBC

11. If two supplementary angles have equal measure, what is the measure of each
angle?

Solution:
Let p and q be the two supplementary angles that are equal
The two angles are said to be supplementary angles if the sum of those angles is 180o
∠p = ∠q
So,
∠p + ∠q = 180o
∠p + ∠p = 180o
2∠p = 180o
∠p = 180o/2
∠p = 90o
Therefore, ∠p = ∠q = 90o

12. If the complement of an angle is 28o, then find the supplement of the angle.

Solution:
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

Given complement of an angle is 28o

Here, let x be the complement of the given angle 28o
Therefore, ∠x + 28o = 90o
∠x = 90o – 28o
= 62o
So, the supplement of the angle = 180o – 62o
= 118o

13. In Fig. 19, name each linear pair and each pair of vertically opposite angles:

∠5 and ∠7
∠6 and ∠8
∠9 and ∠11
∠10 and ∠12

14. In Fig. 20, OE is the bisector of ∠BOD. If ∠1 = 70o, find the magnitude of ∠2, ∠3 and
∠4.

Solution:
Given, ∠1 = 70o
∠3 = 2(∠1)
= 2(70o)
∠3 = 140o
As, OE is the angle bisector,
∠DOB = 2(∠1)
= 2(70o)
= 140o
∠DOB + ∠AOC + ∠COB +∠AOD = 360o [sum of the angle of circle =
360o] 140o + 140o + 2(∠COB) = 360o
Since, ∠COB = ∠AOD
2(∠COB) = 360o – 280o
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

2(∠COB) = 80o
∠COB = 80o/2
∠COB = 40o
Therefore, ∠COB = ∠AOD = 40o
The angles are, ∠1 = 70o, ∠2 = 40o, ∠3 = 140o and ∠4 = 40o

15. One of the angles forming a linear pair is a right angle. What can you say about its
other angle?

Solution:
Given one of the angle of a linear pair is the right angle that is 90o
We know that linear pair angle is 180o
Therefore, the other angle is
180o – 90o = 90o

16. One of the angles forming a linear pair is an obtuse angle. What kind of angle is
the other?

Solution:
Given one of the angles of a linear pair is obtuse, then the other angle should be acute,
because only then their sum will be 180o.

17. One of the angles forming a linear pair is an acute angle. What kind of angle is the
other?

Solution:
Given one of the Angles of a linear pair is acute, then the other angle should be obtuse,
only then their sum will be 180o.

18. Can two acute angles form a linear pair?

Solution:
No, two acute angles cannot form a linear pair because their sum is always less than
180o.

19. If the supplement of an angle is 65o, then find its complement.

 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

Solution:
Let x be the required angle
So, x + 65o = 180o
x = 180o – 65o
x = 115o
The two angles are said to be complementary angles if the sum of those angles is 90o
here it is more than 90o therefore the complement of the angle cannot be determined.

20. Find the value of x in each of the following figures.

[Linear pair: The two adjacent angles are said to form a linear pair of angles if their non–
common arms are two opposite rays and sum of the angle is 180o]

Since, 35o + xo + 60o = 180o

xo = 180o – 35o – 60o
xo = 180o – 95o
xo = 85o

(iv) We know that ∠DOC + ∠DOE + ∠EOA + ∠AOB+ ∠BOC = 360o

83o + 92o + 47o + 75o + xo = 360o

xo = 360o – 297o
xo = 63o

21. In Fig. 22, it being given that ∠1 = 65o, find all other angles.

Solution:
Given from the figure 22, ∠1 = ∠3 are the vertically opposite angles
Therefore, ∠3 = 65o
Here, ∠1 + ∠2 = 180° are the linear pair [The two adjacent angles are said to form a
linear pair of angles if their non–common arms are two opposite rays and sum of the
angle is 180o]
Therefore, ∠2 = 180o – 65o
= 115o
∠2 = ∠4 are the vertically opposite angles [from the figure]
Therefore, ∠2 = ∠4 = 115o
And ∠3 = 65o

3x + 2y = 175o
Given If x = 25o, then
3(25o) + 2y = 175o
75o + 2y = 175o
2y = 175o – 75o
2y = 100o

3x + 2y = 175o
Given If y = 35o, then
3x + 2(35o) = 175o
3x + 70o = 175o
3x = 1750 – 70o
3x = 105o
x = 105o/3
x = 35o

3xo = 180o – 30o
3xo = 150o
xo = 150o/3
xo = 50o
Also given that
∠BOC = (x + 20)o
= (50 + 20)o
= 70o
∠COD = 50o
∠AOD = (x + 10)o
= (50 + 10)o
= 60o

Solution:
From the figure we can write as angles of a straight line,
∠QOP + ∠QOR + ∠ROS = 180o
60o + 4x + 40o = 180o
On rearranging we get, 100o + 4x = 180o
4x = 180o – 100o
4x = 80o
x = 80o/4
x = 20o

30. In Fig. 30, lines l1 and l2 intersect at O, forming angles as shown in the figure. If x =
45o, find the values of y, z and u.

Solution:
Given that, ∠x = 45o
From the figure we can write as
∠x = ∠z = 45o
Also from the figure, we have
∠y = ∠u
From the property of linear pair we can write as
∠x + ∠y + ∠z + ∠u = 360o
45o + 45o + ∠y + ∠u = 360o
90o + ∠y + ∠u = 360o
∠y + ∠u = 360o – 90o
∠y + ∠u = 270o (vertically opposite angles ∠y = ∠u)
2∠y = 270o
∠y = 135o
Therefore, ∠y = ∠u = 135o

Linear pair, ∠x + 50o + 90o = 180o
∠x + 140o = 180o
On rearranging we get
∠x = 180o – 140o
∠x = 40o
From the figure we can write as
∠x = ∠u = 40o are vertically opposite angles
∠z = 90o is a vertically opposite angle
∠y = 50o is a vertically opposite angle
Therefore, ∠x = 40o, ∠y = 50o, ∠z = 90o and ∠u = 40o

Solution:
∠y = 25o vertically opposite angle
From the figure we can write as
∠x = ∠z are vertically opposite angles
∠x + ∠y + ∠z + 25o = 360o
∠x + ∠z + 25o + 25o = 360o
On rearranging we get,
∠x + ∠z + 50o = 360o
∠x + ∠z = 360o – 50o [∠x = ∠z]
2∠x = 310o
∠x = 155o
And, ∠x = ∠z = 155o

Solution:
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

A pair of angles in which one arm of both the angles is on the same side of the
transversal and their other arms are directed in the same sense is called a pair of
corresponding angles.
Therefore corresponding angles are
∠ALM = ∠CMQ = 60o [given]
Vertically opposite angles are
∠LMD = ∠CMQ = 60o [given]
Vertically opposite angles are
∠ALM = ∠PLB = 60o
Here, ∠CMQ + ∠QMD = 180o are the linear pair
On rearranging we get
∠QMD = 180o – 60o
= 120o
Corresponding angles are
∠QMD = ∠MLB = 120o
Vertically opposite angles
∠QMD = ∠CML = 120o
Vertically opposite angles
∠MLB = ∠ALP = 120o

3. In Fig. 60, AB and CD are parallel lines intersected by a transversal by a transversal

PQ at L and M respectively. If ∠LMD = 35o find ∠ALM and ∠PLA.

Solution:
Given that, ∠LMD = 35o
From the figure we can write
∠LMD and ∠LMC is a linear pair
∠LMD + ∠LMC = 180o [sum of angles in linear pair = 180o]
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

On rearranging, we get
∠LMC = 180o – 35o
= 145o
So, ∠LMC = ∠PLA = 145o
And, ∠LMC = ∠MLB = 145o
∠MLB and ∠ALM is a linear pair
∠MLB + ∠ALM = 180o [sum of angles in linear pair = 180o]
∠ALM = 180o – 145o
∠ALM = 350
Therefore, ∠ALM = 35o, ∠PLA = 145o.

4. The line n is transversal to line l and m in Fig. 61. Identify the angle alternate to ∠13,
angle corresponding to ∠15, and angle alternate to ∠15.

Solution:
Given that, l ∥ m
From the figure the angle alternate to ∠13 is ∠7
From the figure the angle corresponding to ∠15 is ∠7 [A pair of angles in which one arm
of both the angles is on the same side of the transversal and their other arms are
directed in the same sense is called a pair of corresponding angles.]
Again from the figure angle alternate to ∠15 is ∠5

5. In Fig. 62, line l ∥ m and n is transversal. If ∠1 = 40°, find all the angles and check
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14

that all corresponding angles and alternate angles are equal.

Solution:
Given that, ∠1 = 40o
∠1 and ∠2 is a linear pair [from the figure]
∠1 + ∠2 = 180o
∠2 = 180o – 40o
∠2 = 140o
Again from the figure we can say that
∠2 and ∠6 is a corresponding angle pair
So, ∠6 = 140o
∠6 and ∠5 is a linear pair [from the figure]
∠6 + ∠5 = 180o
∠5 = 180o – 140o
∠5 = 40o
From the figure we can write as
∠3 and ∠5 are alternate interior angles
So, ∠5 = ∠3 = 40o
∠3 and ∠4 is a linear pair
∠3 + ∠4 = 180o
∠4 = 180o – 40o
∠4 = 140o
Now, ∠4 and ∠6 are a pair of interior angles
So, ∠4 = ∠6 = 140o
∠3 and ∠7 are a pair of corresponding angles
So, ∠3 = ∠7 = 40o
Therefore, ∠7 = 40o
∠4 and ∠8 are a pair of corresponding angles
So, ∠4 = ∠8 = 140o
 RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14
Lines and Angles

Therefore, ∠8 = 140o
