Here are the calculations for the unknown values in each diagram:
a)
Step 1: Identify the type of triangle.
The tick marks on sides NP and PO indicate that NP=PO. Therefore, △NPO is an isosceles triangle.
Step 2: Apply properties of isosceles triangles.
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
∠PNO=∠PON=46∘
Thus, x=46∘.
Step 3: Apply the sum of angles in a triangle.
The sum of angles in △NPO is 180∘.
∠NPO+∠PNO+∠PON=180∘
y+46∘+46∘=180∘
y+92∘=180∘
y=180∘−92∘
y=88∘
The unknown values are:
x=46∘,y=88∘
b)
Step 1: Identify the given angles.
In △RST, ∠R=34∘ and ∠S=72∘.
Step 2: Apply the exterior angle theorem.
The exterior angle x at vertex T is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
x=∠R+∠S
x=34∘+72∘
x=106∘
The unknown value is:
x=106∘
c)
Step 1: Find angle y.
The angle y and the 67∘ angle form a linear pair on a straight line. Angles on a straight line sum to 180∘.
y+67∘=180∘
y=180∘−67∘
y=113∘
Step 2: Find angle x.
The sum of angles in △UTW is 180∘.
∠U+∠UTW+∠TWU=180∘
59∘+x+y=180∘
Substitute the value of y:
59∘+x+113∘=180∘
x+172∘=180∘
x=180∘−172∘
x=8∘
The unknown values are:
x=8∘,y=113∘
d)
Step 1: Analyze the given triangles.
We have two right-angled triangles: △HLN (right-angled at L) and △SRT (right-angled at R).
From the angle markings:
∠H=∠S (one arc)
∠N=∠T (two arcs)
∠L=∠R=90∘ (right angle symbol)
Step 2: Determine similarity.
Since all three corresponding angles are equal, the two triangles are similar by the AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) similarity criterion.
The correspondence of vertices is H↔S, L↔R, N↔T.
Step 3: Set up ratios of corresponding sides.
For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal:
SRHL=STHN
Step 4: Substitute known values and solve for x.
Given: HL=15 cm, HN=18 cm, ST=24 cm, SR=x cm.
x15=2418
Simplify the ratio on the right side:
2418=4×63×6=43
So, the equation becomes:
x15=43
Cross-multiply:
15×4=3×x
60=3x
x=360
x=20
The length is in cm.
The unknown value is:
x=20 cm
