Solution:

From the above given figure we can say that,

For corresponding angles:

(1) For ∠p

∠w is the angle which is on the same side and same direction of transversal.

Hence, ∠w is the corresponding angle to ∠p.

(2) For ∠q

∠x is the angle which is on the same side and same direction of transversal.

Hence, ∠x is the corresponding angle to ∠q.

(3) For ∠r

∠y is the angle which is on the same side and same direction of transversal.

Hence, ∠r is the corresponding angle to ∠y.

(4) For ∠s

∠z is the angle which is on the same side and same direction of transversal.

Hence, ∠s is the corresponding angle to ∠z.

For Interior alternate angles:

(5) For ∠s

The angel which is in the inner side as well as on the opposite side of transversal and its opposite angle is ∠x.

Hence, ∠s and ∠x form pair of Interior Alternate angel.

(6) For ∠w

The angel which is in the inner side as well as on the opposite side of transversal and its opposite angle is ∠r.

Hence, ∠w and ∠r form pair of Interior Alternate angel.

2. Observe the angles shown in the figure and write the following pair of angles.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 3

(1) Interior alternate angles
(2) Corresponding angles
(3) Interior angles

Solution:

(1) For Interior alternate angles:

When these angels are in the inner side they are called Interior alternate angels.

  • For ∠b, ∠b and ∠h form pair of Interior Alternate angel.
  • For ∠c, ∠c and ∠e form pair of Interior Alternate angel.

(2) For Corresponding angles

If the arms on the transversal of a pair of angles are in the same direction and the other arms are on the same side of the transversal, then it is called a pair of corresponding angles.

  • For ∠a, ∠a is the corresponding angle to ∠e.
  • For ∠b, ∠b is the corresponding angle to ∠f.
  • For ∠d, ∠d is the corresponding angle to ∠h.
  • For ∠c, ∠c is the corresponding angle to ∠g.

(3) Interior angles

A pair of angles which are on the same side of the transversal and inside the given lines is called a pair of interior angles.

  • For ∠b, ∠b and ∠e form pair of interior angels.
  • For ∠c, ∠c and ∠h form pair of interior angels.

1. Choose the correct alternative.

(1) In the adjoining figure, if line m || line n and line p is a transversal then find x.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 4

A. 135°
B. 90°
C. 45°
D. 40°

Solution:

From the given figure we have 3x and x. 3x and x form a pair of interior angle.

By using the property of interior angels. [We know that, each pair of interior angles formed by two parallel lines and their transversal is of supplementary angles i.e. 180°.]

x + 3x = 180

4x = 180

x = 180/4

= 45o

∴ The value of x is 45°.

(2) In the adjoining figure, if line a || line b and line l is a transversal then find x.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 5

A. 90°
B. 60°
C. 45°
D. 30°

Solution:

From the figure we have 4x and 2x. 4x and 2x form a pair of interior angle.

By using the property of interior angels

4x + 2x = 180°

6x = 180°

x = 180/6

= 30o

∴ The value of x is 30o.

2. In the adjoining figure line p || line q. Line t and line s are transversals. Find the measure of ∠x and ∠y using the measures of angles given in the figure.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 6

Solution:

Given:

Line p || line q, line t and line s are transversals.

Let us find the measure of ∠x and ∠y.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 7

Firstly, Let us consider ∠z as shown in figure.

Measure of ∠z = 40° … (i) [Since, they are corresponding angles]

So,

m∠x + m∠z = 180° [Since, angles are in a linear pair]

m∠x + 40o = 180° [From equation (i)]

m∠x= 180° – 40°

m∠x = 140°

Now, let us consider ∠w as shown in the figure.

m∠w + 70° = 180° [Since, angles are in a linear pair]

m∠w = 180° – 70°

m∠w = 110° …(ii)

It is given that, line p || line q and line s is a transversal.

So, m∠y = m∠w [by using alternate angles]

m∠y =110° [From equation (ii)]

∴ The measure of ∠x is 140° and ∠y is 110°.

3. In the adjoining figure. line p || line q. line l || line m. Find measures of ∠a, ∠b, and ∠c, using the measures of given angles. Justify your answers.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 8

Solution:

Given:

Line p || line q and line l are transversal.

Line l || line m and line p is a transversal.

Line p || line q and line m is a transversal.

Firstly let us find the measure of ∠a

Line p || line q and line l are transversal.

So,

m∠a + 80° = 180° [Since, they are interior angles]

m∠a= 180° – 80°

m∠a= 100°

Now, line l || line m and line p is a transversal.

So, m∠c = 80° … (i) [By using exterior alternate angles]

Line p || line q and line m is a transversal.

So, m∠b = m∠c … [Since, they are corresponding angles]

m∠b = 80° … [From equation (i)]

∴ The measure of ∠a is 100°, m∠b is 80°, m∠c is 80°.

4. In the adjoining figure, line a || line b. line l is a transversal. Find the measures of ∠x, ∠y, ∠z using the given information.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 9

Solution:

Given:

Line a || line b and line l is a transversal.

So,

m∠x = 105° … (i) [Since, it is a corresponding angle]

Now,

m∠y = m∠x [Since, they are vertically opposite angles]

So, m∠y = 105° …[From equation (i)]

Now, m∠z + 105° = 180° [Since, angles are in a linear pair]

m∠z = 180°- 105°

m∠z = 75°

∴ The measure of ∠x is 105°, m∠y is 105°, m∠z is 75°.

5. In the adjoining figure, line p || line l || line q. Find ∠x with the help of the measures given in the figure.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 10

Solution:

Let us mark few points as such,

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 – image 11

It is given that,

Line p || line l and line IJ is a transversal.

So,

m∠IJN = m∠JIH [Since they are alternate angles]

m∠IJN = 40° … (i)

Now,

Line l || line q and line MJ is a transversal.

So, m∠MJN = m∠JMK [Since they are alternate angles]

m∠MJN = 30° … (ii)

Now, m∠x = m∠IJN + m∠MJN [By using angle addition property]

We get,

40° + 30° [From equation (i) and (ii)]

m∠x = 70°

∴ The measure of ∠x is 70o.

Steps to construct:

a) Draw line l.

b) Take two points A and B on the line l.

c) Draw perpendicular lines above to the line l from points A and B with a distance of 4cm, and mark that points as P and Q.

The lines in the same plane, which do not intersect each other are called parallel lines. If a line intersects two lines in two distinct points, then that line is called transversal of those two lines.
