In figure, if p is a transversal to lines q and r, q || r and ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are in the ratio 3 : 2, find all angles from 1 to 8.
Adjacent angles 1 and 2 form a linear pair.
⇒ ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 180° (Linear Pair Axiom)
∠ 1 : ∠ 2 = 3 : 2
... ∠ 1 = 3/5 x 180°
= 108°
∠ 2 = (2/5) x 180 = 72° ---------- (1)
Lines p and q intersect.
⇒ ∠ 2 = ∠ 4 (Vertically opposite angles)
... ∠ 4 = 72° (from 1)
Since ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 form a linear pair.
... ∠ 3 = 180° - 72o = 108° (same as (2))
∠ 4 = ∠ 6 = 72° (Alternate interior angles)
∠ 3 = ∠ 5 = 108° (Alternate interior angles)
Lines p and r intersect
∠ 5 = ∠ 7 = 108° (Vertically opposite angles)
∠ 6 = ∠ 8 = 72° (Vertically opposite angles)
... ∠ 1 = 108°, ∠ 5 = 108°, ∠ 2 = 72°, ∠ 6 = 72°, ∠ 3 = 108°, ∠ 7 = 108°, ∠ 4 = 72°
and ∠ 8 = 72°
⇒ ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 180° (Linear Pair Axiom)
∠ 1 : ∠ 2 = 3 : 2
... ∠ 1 = 3/5 x 180°
= 108°
∠ 2 = (2/5) x 180 = 72° ---------- (1)
Lines p and q intersect.
⇒ ∠ 2 = ∠ 4 (Vertically opposite angles)
... ∠ 4 = 72° (from 1)
Since ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 form a linear pair.
... ∠ 3 = 180° - 72o = 108° (same as (2))
∠ 4 = ∠ 6 = 72° (Alternate interior angles)
∠ 3 = ∠ 5 = 108° (Alternate interior angles)
Lines p and r intersect
∠ 5 = ∠ 7 = 108° (Vertically opposite angles)
∠ 6 = ∠ 8 = 72° (Vertically opposite angles)
... ∠ 1 = 108°, ∠ 5 = 108°, ∠ 2 = 72°, ∠ 6 = 72°, ∠ 3 = 108°, ∠ 7 = 108°, ∠ 4 = 72°
and ∠ 8 = 72°
