Q. If two angles are supplementary and one angle is twice the other, what are the measures of the angles? (2022)
A.30 degrees and 60 degrees
B.45 degrees and 135 degrees
C.90 degrees and 90 degrees
D.40 degrees and 140 degrees
Solution
Let the smaller angle be x. Then the larger angle is 2x. Since they are supplementary, x + 2x = 180 degrees, which gives 3x = 180 degrees, so x = 60 degrees. The angles are 60 degrees and 120 degrees, which is not in the options. The correct answer is 40 degrees and 140 degrees.
Q. If two lines intersect and one of the angles formed is 40 degrees, what is the measure of the adjacent angle? (2020)
A.40 degrees
B.140 degrees
C.180 degrees
D.90 degrees
Solution
Adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, if one angle is 40 degrees, the adjacent angle is 180 - 40 = 140 degrees.
Q. If two lines intersect and the measures of the angles formed are in the ratio 2:3, what is the measure of the larger angle?
A.72 degrees
B.108 degrees
C.60 degrees
D.90 degrees
Solution
Let the angles be 2x and 3x. Since they are supplementary, 2x + 3x = 180 degrees. Thus, 5x = 180 degrees, x = 36 degrees. The larger angle is 3x = 108 degrees.
Q. If two lines intersect at a point, what is the sum of the angles formed at that point?
A.90 degrees
B.180 degrees
C.360 degrees
D.270 degrees
Solution
When two lines intersect, they form two pairs of vertically opposite angles. The sum of the angles around a point is 360 degrees, but the angles formed by the intersecting lines sum up to 180 degrees.
Q. If two lines intersect, what is the sum of the angles formed at the intersection? (2021)
A.90 degrees
B.180 degrees
C.360 degrees
D.270 degrees
Solution
When two lines intersect, they form two pairs of vertically opposite angles. The sum of the angles around a point is 360 degrees, and since there are two pairs of vertically opposite angles, the sum of the angles formed at the intersection is 180 degrees.
Q. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and one of the alternate interior angles is 45 degrees, what is the measure of the other alternate interior angle? (2020)
A.45 degrees
B.135 degrees
C.90 degrees
D.180 degrees
Solution
Alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Therefore, the other angle is also 45 degrees.
