Ans:
In ∆PQR,
m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R = 180° …. (Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
∴ 80 + 70 + m∠R = 180
∴ 150 + m∠R = 180
∴ m∠R = 180 – 150
∴ m∠R = 30°

Question 13.
Find the measures of the complementary angles of the following angles:
i. 35°
ii. a°
iii. 22°
iv. (40 – x)°
Solution:
i. Let the measure of the complementary
angle be x°.
35 + x = 90
∴35 + x-35 = 90 – 35
….(Subtracting 35 from both sides)
∴x = 55
∴The complementary angle of 35° is 55°.

ii. Let the measure of the complementary angle be x°.
a + x = 90
∴a + x – a = 90 – a
….(Subtracting a from both sides)
∴x = (90 – a)
∴The complementary angle of a° is (90 – a)°.

iii. Let the measure of the complementary angle be x°.
22 + x = 90
∴22 + x – 22 = 90 – 22
….(Subtracting 22 from both sides)
∴x = 68
∴The complementary angle of 22° is 68°.

iv. Let the measure of the complementary angle be a°.
40 – x + a = 90
∴40 – x + a – 40 + x = 90 – 40 + x
….(Subtracting 40 and adding x on both sides)
∴a = (50 + x)
∴The complementary angle of (40 – x)° is (50 + x)°.

Question 14.
Find the measures of the supplements of the following angles:
i. 111°
ii. 47°
iii. 180°
iv. (90 – x)°
Solution:
i. Let the measure of the supplementary
angle be x°.
111 + x = 180
∴ 111 + x – 111 = 180 – 111
…..(Subtracting 111 from both sides)
∴ x = 69
∴ The supplementary angle of 111° is 69°.

ii. Let the measure of the supplementary angle be x°.
47 + x = 180
∴47 + x – 47 = 180 – 47
….(Subtracting 47 from both sides)
∴x = 133
∴The supplementary angle of 47° is 133°.

iii. Let the measure of the supplementary angle be x°.
180 + x = 180
∴180 + x – 180 = 180 – 180
….(Subtracting 180 from both sides)
∴x = 0
∴The supplementary angle of 180° is 0°.

iv. Let the measure of the supplementary angle be a°.
90 – x + a = 180
∴90 – x + a – 90 + x = 180 – 90+ x
….(Subtracting 90 and adding x on both sides)
∴a = 180 – 90 + x
∴a = (90 + x)
∴The supplementary angle of (90 – x)° is (90 + x)°.

Question 16.
In ∆PQR the measures of ∠P and ∠Q are equal and m∠PRQ = 70°, Find the measures of the following angles.

1. m∠PRT
2. m∠P
3. m∠Q

Solution:
Here, ∠PRQ and ∠PRT are angles in a linear pair.
m∠PRQ + m∠PRT = 180°
∴70 + m∠PRT = 180
∴m∠PRT = 180 – 70
∴m∠PRT = 110°
Now, ∠PRT is the exterior angle of ∆PQR.
∴m∠P + m∠Q = m∠PRT
∴m∠P + m∠P = m∠PRT ….(The measures of ∠P and ∠Q is same)
∴2m∠P = 110
∴m∠P = $$\frac { 110 }{ 2 }$$
∴m∠P = 55°
∴m∠Q =

= (6a + 2a) + (-5b + 15b) + (-8c – 5c)
= 8a + 10b – 13c

ii. (3x + 2y) (7x – 8y)
= 3x × (7x – 8y) + 2yx (7x – 8y)
= 21x² – 24xy + 14xy – 16y²
= 21x² – 10xy – 16y²

iii. (7m – 5n) – (-4n – 11m)
= 7m – 5n + 4n + 11m
= (7m + 11m) + (-5n + 4n)
= 18m – n

iv. (11m – 12n + 3p) – (9m + 7n – 8p)
= 11m – 12n + 3p – 9m – 7n + 8p
= (11m – 9m) + (-12n – 7n) + (3p + 8p)
= 2m – 19n + 11p

Solve the following equations:
i 4(x + 12) = 8
ii. 3y + 4 = 5y – 6

∴ 4x = -40
∴ x = $$\frac { -40 }{ 4 }$$
∴ x = -10

ii. 3y + 4 = 5y – 6
∴ 3y + 4 + 6 = 5y – 6 + 6
∴ y = $$\frac { 10 }{ 2 }$$
