Page 29 Problem 1 Answer

We are given a figure, in which m∠5=22 and one angle measures 90.

We are required to find the measure of m∠6.

Here, we will use the fact that total sum of angles that lie on a line is 180.

As all the angles lie on the same line, by angles on a straight line property we have,

90+m∠5+m∠6=180

90+22+m∠6=180

m∠6=180−112

m∠6=68

​In the given figure, by angles on a straight line property, we have m∠6=68 when m∠5=22.

Page 29 Problem 2 Answer

Here in the question, we have been given a figure in which m∠1=38∘.

We have to find the measure of each angle given in the figure.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 2

In the figure, we can see that we only have two angles ∠1,∠2.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 2 1

And by the vertical opposite angle m∠1=m∠2.Implies that m∠2=38∘.

Hence from the given figure and m∠1=38∘, by the vertically opposite angles, we get m∠2 as 38∘.

Page 29 Problem 3 Answer

In the question, we have been given a figure and also we have:

m∠13=4x+11

m∠14=3x+1

​We have been asked to find the measure of each numbered angle and name the theorems that justify our work.

Using the linear pair theorem, we will find the result.

Here in the given figure, by the linear pair, we get

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 3 1

∠13+∠14=180∘

4x+11+3x+1=180∘

7x=180−12

x=168/7

x=24∘

Now substituting the value of x=24∘ in the angles, we get

m∠13=4×24+11

=107∘m∠14=3×24+1

=73∘

So, by linear pair theorem, we get the measure of each angle.

Hence we get the measure of each angle by the linear pair in the given figuer as:

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 3

m∠13=107∘

m∠14=73∘​

Page 29 Problem 4 Answer

We have been given that in the given figure, ∠9,∠10 are complementary angles, ∠7 congruent to ∠9, m∠8=41.

We have to find the measure of each angle.

Using the linear pair theorem, we will get the measure.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 4

By the linear pair, we get

∠7+∠8+∠9+∠10=180

∠7+41+90=180

∠7=49

Now given that ∠7≅∠9.

Thus we get 49∘=∠9.

Also, we have given that ∠9,∠10 are complementary angles.

Thus we get

∠9+∠10=90∘

49+∠10=90∘

∠10=41∘

So, we get the measure of all the angles.

Hence we get the measure of all the angles in the figure as: ∠7=49∘

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 4 1

by linear pair ∠10=41∘

by complement ∠9=49∘by congruence

Page 29 Problem 5 Answer

In the question, we have been given a figure and also given that ∠QPS≅∠TPR and also an incomplete table.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 5

We have to complete the table with the proof of ∠QPR≅∠TPS.

Using the given information and figure we will complete it.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 5 1

Here the complete table is:

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 5 2

Hence with the help of the given figure, we had completed the table and proved that ∠QPR≅∠TPS

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 5 3

Page 30 Problem 6 Answer

Here, we have given a figure in which a straight line is divided by a line into two angles, that are ∠1,∠2.Further, we have given

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 6

m∠1=x+10

m∠2=3x+18.

Thus we just have to find the value of m∠1,m∠2.

As we have given

m∠1=x+10……(1)

m∠2=3x+18……(2)

So we also know according to the property of straight line,m∠1+m∠2=180∘

i.e.x+10+3x+18=180∘

4x+28=180∘

4x=180−28

x=152/4

We get

x=38∘

Now putting x in eq. 1 and 2, we will have

m∠1=x+10

=38+10

=48∘and

m∠2=3x+18

=3⋅38+18

=114+18

=132∘

Hence by solving

m∠1=x+10

m∠2=3x+18​

by using the given Fig.1 we get m∠1=48∘

m∠2=132∘.

Page 30 Problem 7 Answer

Here, we have given a figure in which we have given three angles, that are ∠3,∠4,∠5 .Further, we can say we have given

m∠3=90∘

m∠4+m∠5=90∘.

Thus we just have to find the value of m∠4,m∠5.

As we have given ​m∠4=2x−5……(1)

m∠5=4x−13……(2)​

And from the given figure we also have m∠4+m∠5=90∘

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 7

Thus we will have

2x−5+4x−13=90∘

6x−18=90

6x=108

x=18∘

Now we will just put the value of x in eq. 1 and 2 respectively,

we will have

m∠4=2x−5

=2⋅18−5

=36−5

=31∘and

m∠5=4x−13

=4⋅18−13

=59∘

Hence by solving

m∠4=2x−5

m∠5=4x−13

​by using the given Fig.1.

we get m∠4=31∘

m∠5=59∘

Page 30 Problem 8 Answer

Here, we have given

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 8

And we have to find the unknown value of the angles m∠6 and m∠7 by using the given figure.

As we know that a theorem states that the two opposite angles are equal when two straight lines intersect, forming four angles.

So now we can write m∠6=m∠7

That implies

7x−24=5x+14

7x−5x=14+24

2x=38

x=19∘

Thus putting x in eq. 1 and 2, we will have

m∠6=7x−24

=7⋅19−24

=133−24

=109∘and

m∠7=5x+14

=5⋅19+14

=95+14

=109∘

Hence by solving m∠6=7x−24

m∠7=5x+14​ by using the given Fig.1.we get m∠6=m∠7=109∘.

Page 30 Problem 9 Answer

Here we have given straight lines referred to as the road names.

So as the figure says, Barton rode and Olive tree lane is making 90∘angle where Tryon street and Olive tree lane is making 57∘angle.

So as we have been told, we just need to find the acute angle made by Tryon Street with Barton Road.

As we know that

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 2 Inductive Reasoning and Conjecture 9

The angle between Barton Road and Olive tree lane+The angle between Barton Road and Tyron St.+

Tyron St. and Olive tree lane=180∘

⇒90∘+The angle between Barton Road and Tyron St.+57∘

⇒The angle between Barton Road and Tyron St.=180∘−90∘−57∘

=33∘

So the measure of the acute angle Tryon Street forms with Barton Road will be

= 90∘+The angle between Barton Road and Tyron St.

=90∘+33∘

=123∘

Hence by using the given Fig.1, we have measured the acute angle Tryon Street forms with Barton Road is 123∘.
