In the following figure, is ∠1 adjacent to ∠2? Give reasons.

Solution:-
∠1 and ∠2 are not adjacent angles because they are not lying on the same vertex.
Find the values of the angles x, y, and z in each of the following:
(i)

Solution:-
∠x = 55o, because vertically opposite angles.
∠x + ∠y = 180o … [∵ linear pair]
= 55o + ∠y = 180o
= ∠y = 180o – 55o
= ∠y = 125o
Then, ∠y = ∠z … [∵ vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠z = 125o
(ii)

Solution:-
∠z = 40o, because vertically opposite angles.
∠y + ∠z = 180o … [∵ linear pair]
= ∠y + 40o = 180o
= ∠y = 180o – 40o
= ∠y = 140o
Then, 40 + ∠x + 25 = 180o … [∵angles on straight line]
65 + ∠x = 180o
∠x = 180o – 65
∴ ∠x = 115o
Fill in the blanks.
(i) If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is _______.
Solution:-
If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90o.
(ii) If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures is ______.
Solution:-
If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures is 180o.
(iii) Two angles forming a linear pair are _______________.
Solution:-
Two angles forming a linear pair are supplementary.
(iv) If two adjacent angles are supplementary, they form a ___________.
Solution:-
If two adjacent angles are supplementary, they form a linear pair.
(v) If two lines intersect at a point, then the vertically opposite angles are always
_____________.
Solution:-
If two lines intersect at a point, then the vertically opposite angles are always equal.
(vi) If two lines intersect at a point, and if one pair of vertically opposite angles are acute angles, then the other pair of vertically opposite angles are __________.
Solution:-
If two lines intersect at a point, and if one pair of vertically opposite angles are acute angles, then the other pair of vertically opposite angles are obtuse angles.
