Chapter 5 | Lines and Angles | Exercise 5.1

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 1.

Find the complement of each of the following angles :

Solution:
Since, the sum of the measures of an angle and its complement is 90°, therefore,

1. The complement of an angle of measure 20° is the angle of (90°-20°), f.e., 70°.
2. The complement of an angle of measure 63° is the angle of (90°-63°), i.e., 27°.
3. The complement of an angle of measure 57° is the angle of (90°-57°), i.e., 33°.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 2.
Find the supplement of each of the following angles :

Solution:
Since, the sum of the measures of an angle and its supplement is 180°, therefore,

1. The supplement of an angle of measvjre 105° is the angle of (180°-105°), i.e., 75°.
2. The supplement of an angle of measure 87° is the angle of (180°-87°), i.e., 93°.
3. The supplement of an angle of measure 154° is the angle of (180°-154°), i.e., 26°.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 3.
Identify which of the following pairs of angles are complementary and which are supplementary :

1. 65°, 115°
2. 63°, 27°
3. 112°, 68°
4. 130°, 50°
5. 45°, 45°
6. 80°, 10°

Solution:

1. Since, 65°+ 115° = 180°
   So, this pair of angles is supplementary.
2. Since, 63°+ 27° = 90°
   So, this pair of angles is complementary.
3. Since, 112° + 68° = 1800
   So, this pair of angles is supplementary.
4. Since, 130°+50° = 180°
   So, this pair of angles is supplementary.
5. Since, 45°+ 45° = 90°
   So, this pair of angles is complementary.
6. Since, 80°+ 10° = 90°
   So, this pair of angles is complementary.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 4.
Find the angle which is equal to its complement.
Solution:
Let the measure of the angle be x°. Then, the measure of its complement is given to be x°.
Since, the sum of the measures of an angle and its complement is 90°, therefore,
x° + x° = 90°
⇒ 2x° = 90°
⇒ x° = 45°
Thus, the required angle is 45°.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 5.
Find the angle which is equal to its supplement.
Solution:
Let the measure of the angle be x°. Then,
measure of its supplement = x°
Since, the sum of the measures of an angle and its supplement is 180°, therefore,
x° + x° = 180°
⇒ 2x° =180°
⇒ x° = 90°
Hence, the required angle is 90°.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 6.
In the given figure, ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If ∠1 is decreased, what changes should take place in ∠2 so that both the angles still remain supplementary?

Solution:
∠2 will increase with the same measure as the decrease in ∠1.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 7.
Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are :

1. acute?
2. obtuse?
3. right?

Solution:

1. No
2. No
3. Yes

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 8.
An angle is greater than 45°. Is its complementary angle greater than 45° or equal to 45° or less than 45°?
Solution:
Since, the sum of the measure of ah angle and its complement is 90°.
∴ The complement of an angle of measures 45° + x°, where x > 0 is the angle of [90° – (45° + x°)] = 90° – 45° – x°= 45° – x°.
Clearly, 45° + x° > 45° – x°
Hence, the complement of an angle > 45° is less than 45°.

1. Is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2 ?
2. Is ∠AOC adjacent to ∠AOE?
3. Do ∠COE and ∠EOD form a linear pair?
4. Are ∠BOD and ∠DOA supplementary?
5. Is ∠1 vertically opposite to Z4?
6. What is the vertically opposite angle of ∠5

Solution:

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. ∠2 + ∠3 = ∠COB

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 10.
Indicate which pairs of angles are :

1. Vertically opposite angles.
2. Linear pairs.

Solution:

1. Pair of vertically opposite angles are ∠1, ∠4; ∠5, ∠2 + ∠3.
2. Pair of linear angles are ∠1, ∠5; ∠4, ∠5.

Ex 5.1 Class 7 Maths Question 11.
In the adjoining figure, is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2? Give reasons.

Solution:
∠1 is not adjacent to ∠2 because they have no common vertex.
