Answer:
90°.
When a clock strikes 9, its hour hand and minute hand stand vertical to each other. At 9 o’clock, hour hand is at 9 indicator while the minute hand is at 12 indicator and they form a right angle.
(b) Name of points in the exterior of ∠BCA but, in the interior of ∠ACD.
Answer:
Point S and point P.
Points S, P and R are in the exterior of ∠BCA but only points S and P are in the interior of ∠ACD. Point R is in the exterior of ∠ACD.
(c) State the kind of angle between the directions South-East and North.
Answer:
Obsute angle.
The kind of angle between South-East and North is 135° which is greater than 90° and smaller than 180°. So, it forms an obtuse angle.
(d) If the measure of one angle of a linear pair is of 85°, find the other angle. Find x is the given figure.
Answer:
95°
If the two adjacent angles combine together to form an angle of 180°, then the adjacent angles is called a linear pairs.

Question 1.
Reena was standing facing North-West direction. She turns by 90° in anti-clockwise direction. Again she turns by 180° in anti-clockwise direction. Now she turns 45° in clockwise direction. Which direction is Reena facing now?
Answer:
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°.

Question 9.
Observe the given figure and find the value of x.
Answer:
(3x + 5)° + (2x + 15)° = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 3x + 5° + 2x + 15° = 180°
⇒ 5x + 20° = 180°
⇒ 5x + 20° – 20° = 180° – 20°
⇒ 5x = 160°
⇒ 5x ÷ 5 = 160° ÷ 5
⇒ x = 32°
Question 10.
Find the value of x in the following figures:
Answer:
x + 50° = 180° (Linear pair)

Answer:
x = 110°(Vertically opposite angles)
Answer:
x + 35° = 90° (Complementary angles)
∴ x = 90° – 35° = 55°
Answer:
x + 180° = 360° (Complete angles)
∴ x = 360° – 180° = 180°
