Q2 of 14 Page 77

Let’s try to write the measurement of the angles from the figure given below:


1=35°
2=?
3=?
4=?


write.


In the above given figure, let us understand the pairs of vertically opposite angle.

1 and 3 are lying opposite to each other [in common language lying face to face to each other].


So, first pair of vertically opposite angles is 1 and 3.


4 and 2 are also lying opposite to each other.


Hence 4 and 2 forms our second pair of vertically opposite angles.


Vertically opposite angles are always equal.


Hence 1 must be equal to 3 and 4 must be equal to 2.


Also, we know that sum all vertically opposite angles is 360°.


1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 360°.


Now in the question it is given that,


1 = 35°


So 3 must be equal to 35° [as 3 = 1……… vertically opposite angles]


Let 2 = 4 = x [as 4 = 2……… vertically opposite angles]


So, 35° + 35° + x + x = 360°


70° + 2x = 360°


2x = 360 – 70


2x = 290


x = 290 / 2


x = 145°


So 2 = 4 = 145°.
