Q5 of 23 Page 17

In figure 2.9, line AB || line CD and line PQ is transversal. Measure of one of the angles is given.

Hence find the measures of the following angles.


i. ART ii. CTQ


iii. DTQ iv. PRB


Given AB ||line CD and line PQ sis transversal .and PRB 105°and BRT 105°

To find: ART, CTQ, DTQ, PRB


ART + BRT = 180° ° (linear pair angle) means that linear pair is a pair of adjacent, supplementary angle.


Adjacent means next to each other, and supplementary means that measures of the two angles add up to equal 180 °.)


ART + 105° = 180 ( BRT = 105 ° given)


ART = 180° -105°


ART = 75°


ART PRQ (vertically opposite angles formed are congruent).


So, PRB = 75° ( ART 75°)


Line AB || line CD line PQ is transversal (given)


BRT DTQ (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent).


DTQ = 105 ( BRT is 105°)


So that, DTQ = 105°


ART CTQ (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent).


So that, CTQ = 75° (because ART is 75°)
