(a) figure.png
125° + m = 180°
⇒ m = 180° – 125° = 55° (Linear pair)
125° + n = 180°
⇒ n = 180° – 125° = 55° (Linear pair)
x = m + n (exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of 2 opposite interior 2 angles)
⇒ x = 55° + 55° = 110°
(b) figure.png
Two interior angles are right angles = 90°
70° + m = 180°
⇒ m = 180° – 70° = 110° (Linear pair)
60° + n = 180°
⇒ n = 180° – 60° = 120° (Linear pair)
The figure is having five sides and is a pentagon.
Thus, sum of the angles of pentagon
= 540° 90° + 90° + 110° + 120° + y = 540°
⇒ 410° + y = 540°
⇒ y = 540° – 410° = 130°
x + y = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ x + 130° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 130° = 50°
