  1. What is the measure of the complementary angle, if the measure of an angle is 57°?

(a) 55°

(b) 33°

(c) 45°

(d) 37°

explanation

To find the measure of the complementary angle to an angle that measures 57°, you need to subtract the given angle from 90°, as complementary angles add up to 90°.

Complementary angle = 90° – 57° = 33°

So, the measure of the complementary angle is 33°.

The correct answer is (b) 33°.

  1. What is the measure of the supplementary angle, if the measure of an angle is 57°?

(a) 43°

(b) 133°

(c) 12°

(d) 123°

explanation

To find the measure of the supplementary angle to an angle that measures 57°, you need to subtract the given angle from 180°, as supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Supplementary angle = 180° – 57° = 123°

So, the measure of the supplementary angle is 123°.

The correct answer is (d) 123°.

  1. A line which cuts two or more parallel lines is known as a

(a) Perpendicular

(b) Line bisector

(c) Transversal

(d) Perpendicular bisector

explanation

A line which cuts two or more parallel lines is known as a “Transversal.”

So, the correct answer is (c) Transversal.

  1. Which of the following is a reflex angle

(a) 30° (b) 120° (c) 180° (d) 230°

explanation

A reflex angle is an angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees.

Among the given options:

  • (a) 30° is an acute angle.
  • (b) 120° is an obtuse angle.
  • (c) 180° is a straight angle.
  • (d) 230° is a reflex angle.

So, the correct answer is (d) 230°.

5.Two lines intersect each other and make four angles. Of these, any two adjacent angles are
(a) Equal

(b) Complementary

(c) Supplementary

(d) None of these

explanation

When two lines intersect each other, they form four angles. These angles are called vertical angles, and any two adjacent angles among them are:

(a) Equal

So, the correct answer is (a) Equal.
