Important Questions & Solutions For Class 9 Chapter 6 (Lines and Angles)

Q.1: In the figure, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° and ∠BOD = 40°, find ∠BOE and reflex ∠COE.

Class 9 Maths chapter 6 imp.ques.1

Solution:

From the given figure, we can see;

∠AOC, ∠BOE, ∠COE and ∠COE, ∠BOD,  ∠BOE form a straight line each.

So, ∠AOC + ∠BOE +∠COE = ∠COE +∠BOD + ∠BOE = 180°

Now, by substituting the values of ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° and ∠BOD = 40° we get:

70° +∠COE = 180°

∠COE = 110°

Similarly,

110° +  40° + ∠BOE = 180°

∠BOE = 30°

Q.2: In the Figure, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If ∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3, find c.

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.2

Solution:

As we know, the sum of the linear pair is always equal to 180°

So,

∠POY + a + b = 180°

Substituting the value of ∠POY = 90° (as given in the question) we get,

a + b = 90°

Now, it is given that a : b = 2 : 3 so,

Let a be 2x and b be 3x.

∴ 2x + 3x = 90°

Solving this we get

5x = 90°

So, x = 18°

∴ a = 2 × 18° = 36°

Similarly, b can be calculated and the value will be

b = 3 × 18° = 54°

From the diagram, b + c also forms a straight angle so,

b + c = 180°

=> c + 54° = 180°

∴ c = 126°

Q.3: In the Figure, POQ is a line. Ray OR is perpendicular to line PQ. OS is another ray lying between rays OP and OR. Prove that ∠ROS = 1/2(∠QOS – ∠POS).

Class 9 Maths chapter 6 imp.ques.3

Solution:

In the question, it is given that (OR ⊥ PQ) and ∠POQ = 180°

So, ∠POS + ∠ROS + ∠ROQ = 180°    (Linear pair of angles)

Now, ∠POS + ∠ROS = 180° – 90°      (Since ∠POR = ∠ROQ = 90°)

∴ ∠POS + ∠ROS = 90°

Now, ∠QOS = ∠ROQ + ∠ROS

It is given that ∠ROQ = 90°,

∴ ∠QOS = 90° + ∠ROS

Or, ∠QOS – ∠ROS = 90°

As ∠POS + ∠ROS = 90° and ∠QOS – ∠ROS = 90°, we get

∠POS + ∠ROS = ∠QOS – ∠ROS

=>2 ∠ROS + ∠POS = ∠QOS

Or, ∠ROS = ½ (∠QOS – ∠POS) (Hence proved).

Q.4: It is given that ∠XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. Draw a figure from the given information. If ray YQ bisects ∠ZYP, find ∠XYQ and reflex ∠QYP.

Solution:

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.4

Here, XP is a straight line

So, ∠XYZ +∠ZYP = 180°

substituting the value of ∠XYZ = 64° we get,

64° +∠ZYP = 180°

∴ ∠ZYP = 116°

From the diagram, we also know that ∠ZYP = ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP

Now, as YQ bisects ∠ZYP,

∠ZYQ = ∠QYP

Or, ∠ZYP = 2∠ZYQ

∴ ∠ZYQ = ∠QYP = 58°

Again, ∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ

By substituting the value of ∠XYZ = 64° and ∠ZYQ = 58° we get.

∠XYQ = 64° + 58°

Or, ∠XYQ = 122°

Now, reflex ∠QYP = 180° + ∠XYQ

We computed that the value of ∠XYQ = 122°. So,

∠QYP = 180° + 122°

∴ ∠QYP = 302°

Q.5: In the Figure, if AB || CD, EF ⊥ CD and ∠GED = 126°, find ∠AGE, ∠GEF and ∠FGE.

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.5

Solution:

Since AB || CD GE is a transversal.

It is given that ∠GED = 126°

So, ∠GED = ∠AGE = 126° (alternate interior angles)

Also,

∠GED = ∠GEF + ∠FED

As

EF ⊥ CD, ∠FED = 90°

∴ ∠GED = ∠GEF + 90°

Or, ∠GEF = 126° – 90° = 36°

Again, ∠FGE + ∠GED = 180° (Transversal)

Substituting the value of ∠GED = 126° we get,

∠FGE = 54°

So,

∠AGE = 126°

∠GEF = 36° and

∠FGE = 54°

Q.6: In the Figure, if PQ || ST, ∠PQR = 110° and ∠RST = 130°, find ∠QRS.

[Hint: Draw a line parallel to ST through point R.]

Class 9 chapter 6 Important question 6

Solution:

First, construct a line XY parallel to PQ.

Class 9 Maths Chapter 6 Important Question 6 Solution

As we know, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equal to 180°.

So, ∠PQR + ∠QRX = 180°

Or,∠QRX = 180° – 110°

∴ ∠QRX = 70°

Similarly,

∠RST + ∠SRY = 180°

Or, ∠SRY = 180° – 130°

∴ ∠SRY = 50°

Now, for the linear pairs on the line XY-

∠QRX + ∠QRS + ∠SRY = 180°

Substituting their respective values we get,

∠QRS = 180° – 70° – 50°

Or, ∠QRS = 60°

Q.7: In Fig. 6.33, PQ and RS are two mirrors placed parallel to each other. An incident ray AB strikes the mirror PQ at B, the reflected ray moves along the path BC and strikes the mirror RS at C and again reflects back along CD. Prove that AB || CD.

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.7

Solution:

First, draw two lines BE and CF such that BE ⊥ PQ and CF ⊥ RS.

Now, since PQ || RS,

So, BE || CF

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.7.1

BE and CF are normals between the incident ray and reflected ray.

As we know,

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection (By the law of reflection)

So,

∠1 = ∠2 and

∠3 = ∠4

We also know that alternate interior angles are equal.

Here, BE ⊥ CF and the transversal line BC cuts them at B and C.

So, ∠2 = ∠3 (As they are alternate interior angles)

Now, ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4

Or, ∠ABC = ∠DCB

So, AB ∥ CD (alternate interior angles are equal)

Q.8: In Fig. 6.40, ∠X = 62°, ∠XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively of Δ XYZ, find ∠OZY and ∠YOZ.

Class 9 maths chapter 6 imp.ques.8

Solution:

As we know, the sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

So, ∠X +∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180°

substituting the values as given in the question we get,

62° + 54° + ∠XZY = 180°

Or, ∠XZY = 64°

Now, As we know, ZO is the bisector so,

∠OZY = ½ ∠XZY

∴ ∠OZY = 32°

Similarly, YO is a bisector and so,

∠OYZ = ½ ∠XYZ

Or, ∠OYZ = 27° (As ∠XYZ = 54°)

Now, as the sum of the interior angles of the triangle,

∠OZY +∠OYZ + ∠O = 180°

Substituting their respective values we get,

∠O = 180° – 32° – 27°

Or, ∠O = 121°

Q.9: In the figure, if AB || CD || EF, PQ || RS, ∠RQD = 25° and ∠CQP = 60°, then find ∠QRS.

Lines and angles question 9

Solution:

According to the given figure, we have

AB || CD || EF

PQ || RS

∠RQD = 25°

∠CQP = 60°

PQ || RS.

As we know,

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of alternate exterior angles is equal.

Now, since, PQ || RS

⇒ ∠PQC = ∠BRS

We have ∠PQC = 60°

⇒ ∠BRS = 60° … eq.(i)

We also know that,

If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of alternate interior angles is equal.

Now again, since, AB || CD

⇒ ∠DQR = ∠QRA

We have ∠DQR = 25°

⇒ ∠QRA = 25° … eq.(ii)

Using linear pair axiom,

We get,

∠ARS + ∠BRS = 180°

⇒ ∠ARS = 180° – ∠BRS

⇒ ∠ARS = 180° – 60° (From (i), ∠BRS = 60°)

⇒ ∠ARS = 120° … eq.(iii)

Now, ∠QRS = ∠QRA + ∠ARS

From equations (ii) and (iii), we have,

∠QRA = 25° and ∠ARS = 120°

Hence, the above equation can be written as:

∠QRS = 25° + 120°

⇒ ∠QRS = 145°

  1. doubt in 7 q. how can you prove that if angle 1 and 2 are equal 3 and four are equal?
    please tell?

    • they form a ‘z’ that is the shape of alternate interior angles if you look closely so only we conclude it like it

    • According to the chapter light angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. So angle 1 is incidence and 2 reflected ray same for 3 and 4

    • Just like angle 1 and angle 2, angle 3 is incident ray and angle 4 is reflected ray. CF is normal between them. Therefore, by the law of reflection, angle 3 and angle 4 are equal.

    • it is based on the law of reflection angle i (incident ray) = angle r (reflected ray).

    • both the angles are equal as it was formed by an incident ray and a reflected ray and both the ray measures the same ,so if

    • Incident ray is equal ro reflected ray so /_1 + /_2 = /_3 + /_4
      another reason is alternate interior angles

    • It’s given that the day bisects the angle to form 2 angles. So the two angles are equal. Moreover the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray, so the reflected ray is marked as an incident ray once it comes in contact with the other surface. Hope it helped

  2. How do we do the 3rd question??I am having a doubt

  3. ∠POS + ∠ROS + ∠ROQ = 180°    (Linear pair of angles)

  4. Thanks for the questions.
    It was very useful.
