Q. Two lines are perpendicular to each other. If one line makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, what is the angle made by the other line with the horizontal? (2022)
A.30 degrees
B.60 degrees
C.90 degrees
D.120 degrees
Solution
If two lines are perpendicular, the sum of their angles is 90 degrees. Therefore, if one line makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, the other line must make an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees with the horizontal.
Q. Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. If one of the alternate interior angles is 65 degrees, what is the measure of the other alternate interior angle? (2020)
A.65 degrees
B.115 degrees
C.180 degrees
D.75 degrees
Solution
Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Therefore, if one angle is 65 degrees, the other alternate interior angle is also 65 degrees.
Q. What is the measure of each angle in a regular hexagon? (2019)
A.120 degrees
B.90 degrees
C.60 degrees
D.150 degrees
Solution
The measure of each interior angle in a regular hexagon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180/n, where n is the number of sides. For a hexagon, n=6, so the measure is (6-2) * 180/6 = 120 degrees.
Q. What is the relationship between the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and the angles formed by a transversal cutting through two parallel lines? (2022)
A.They are equal
B.They are supplementary
C.They are complementary
D.They are unrelated
Solution
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, and the angles formed by a transversal cutting through two parallel lines are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
