What kind of angle do you get when you open any two adjacent fingers of your hand?
(i) right angle
(ii) obtuse angle
(iii) acute angle
(iv) straight angle
Answer:
(ii) acute angle
When we open any two adjacent fingers of our hand, we get an acute angle between them.

(b) An angle measuring 240° is:
(i) obtuse angle
(ii) acute angle
(iii) supplementary angle
(iv) reflex angle
Answer:
(iv) reflex angle
The angle which is more than 180° and less than 360° is called reflex angle.

(i) 95°
(ii) 105°
(iii) 100°
(iv) 115°
Answer:
(iii) 105°
When the sum of two angles is equal to 180°, then they are called supplementary angles to each other.

Answer:
DAV Class 6 Maths Chapter 10 Brain Teasers Solutions 10
Reena was standing facing North-West. She turns by 90° in anti-clockwise direction and she is facing South-West now. After that she turns by 180° in anti-clockwise direction and she is facing North-East direction. On turnning 45° in clockwise direction, she is facing East direction now.

Question 2.
Find the complement of the supplement of twice of an angle of 60°.
Answer:
Twice of angle
60° = 2 x 60° = 120°
Thus, supplementary angle of 120° = 180° – 120° = 60°
Now, the complementary of 60° = 90° – 60° = 30°.
