(i) x + 50° = 120° 

[By the exterior angle property of a triangle]

x= 120° – 50° = 70°

By Angle sum property of a triangle

x + y + 50° = 180°

x + y = 180° – 50° = 130°

70° + y = 130°

y = 130° – 70° = 60°

∴ x = 70°, y = 60°

(ii) 50° + y° + x° = 180°

∠y = 80° [vertically opposite angles]

50° + 80° + x° = 180° 

(Angle sum property of a triangle)

130° + x = 180°

x° = 180° – 130° = 50°

[∴ x = 50°, y = 80°]

(iii) ∠x = 50° + 60° = 110° 

[By exterior – angle property of a triangle]

y + 50° + 60° = 180° 

( By Angle sum property of a triangle)

y + 110° = 180°

∴ y = 180° – 110° = 70°

∴ y = 70°, x = 110°

(iv) ∠x = 60°

[vertically opposite angles]

30° + x° + y° = 180°

(By Angle sum property of a triangle)

30° + 60° + y° = 180°

90° + y° = 180°

∴ y°= 180° – 90° = 90°

∴ x = 60° y = 90°

(v) ∠y = 90° 

[vertically opposite angles]

∠x + ∠x + ∠y = 180°

(Angle sum property of a triangle)

2x + y° = 180°

2x + 90° = 180°

2x = 180° – 90°= 90°

\(\frac{90^o}{2}\) = 45°
∴ ∠x = 45° & ∠y = 90°

(vi) ∠x ∠y 

[vertically opposite angles]

∠x + ∠x + ∠y = 180°

(Angle sum property of a triangle)

2x + ∠y = 180°

2x + x° = 180° (∵ y = x)

3x = 180°

x = \(\frac{180^o}{3}\) = 60°
∴ x = 60° & y = 60°
