Lines and Angles — solved examples for Class 9 Olympiad

Example 1easy

An angle is such that its measure is 2/3 of the measure of its complement. What is the measure of the angle?

A)36°
B)54°
C)60°
D)30°

Step-by-step solution

Let the angle be x. Its complement is 90° - x.
According to the problem, x = (2/3) × (90° - x).
Multiply both sides by 3: 3x = 2(90° - x) => 3x = 180° - 2x.
Add 2x to both sides: 5x = 180° => x = 180° / 5 = 36°.

Answer: 36°

Example 2medium

In the given figure, AB || CD. E is a point such that ∠BAE = 100° and ∠ECD = 120°. Find ∠AEC.

A)100°
B)120°
C)140°
D)160°

Step-by-step solution

Draw a line XY through E parallel to AB. Since AB || CD, XY || CD as well.
Since AB || XY, ∠BAE + ∠AEX = 180° (consecutive interior angles). Given ∠BAE = 100°, so ∠AEX = 180° - 100° = 80°.
Since XY || CD, ∠XEC + ∠ECD = 180° (consecutive interior angles). Given ∠ECD = 120°, so ∠XEC = 180° - 120° = 60°.
∠AEC = ∠AEX + ∠XEC = 80° + 60° = 140°.

Answer: 140°

Example 3hard

In the diagram, line AB is parallel to line CD. A sequence of connected line segments, starting from point E on AB, passes through F, G, and H, and ends at point I on CD. That is, E-F-G-H-I is a path. If ∠EFG = 130°, ∠FGH = 140°, and ∠GHI = 150°, what is the measure of ∠AEF + ∠CIH?

A)100°
B)120°
C)140°
D)160°

Step-by-step solution

Draw auxiliary lines through F, G, and H, parallel to AB and CD. Let ∠AEF = x and ∠CIH = y.
For a 'zig-zag' path between two parallel lines, the sum of the alternate interior angles on one side equals the sum of alternate interior angles on the other side. Assuming ∠AEF, ∠FGH, and ∠CIH are angles opening in one direction (e.g., 'left turns'), and ∠EFG, ∠GHI are angles opening in the other direction ('right turns'), we can set up the balance equation.
The relationship is: ∠AEF + ∠FGH + ∠CIH = ∠EFG + ∠GHI.
Substitute the given values: x + 140° + y = 130° + 150°. This simplifies to x + y + 140° = 280°, so x + y = 280° - 140° = 140°.

Answer: 140°
