Q6 In the given gure, ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If ∠1 is decreased, what changes
should take place in ∠2 so that both the angles still remain supplementary.
Answer. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles.
If ∠1 is reduced, then ∠2 should be increased by the same measure so that this angle pair remains
supplementary.

Q7 Can two angles be supplementary if both of them are:
(i) acute?
(ii) obtuse?
(iii) right?
Answer. (i) No. Acute angle is always lesser than 90 . It can be observed that two angles, even of
∘
89 , cannot add up to 180 . Therefore, two acute angles cannot be in a supplementary angle pair.
∘ ∘
(ii) No. Obtuse angle is always greater than 90 . It can be observed that two angles, even of 91 ,
∘ ∘
will always add up to more than 180 . Therefore, two obtuse angles cannot be in a supplementary
∘
angle pair.
(iii) Yes. Right angles are of 90 and 90 + 90 = 180
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Therefore, two right angles from a supplementary angle pair together.

common arms, OA and OE, are on either side of the common arm.
(ii) No. They have a common vertex O and also a common arm OA. However, their non-common
arms, OC and OE, are on the same side of the common arm. Therefore, these are not adjacent to
each other.
(iii) Yes. Since they have a common vertex O and a common arm OE. Also, their non- common
arms, OC and OD, are opposite rays.
(iv) Yes. Since ∠BOD and ∠DOA have a common vertex O and their non-common arms are
opposite to each other.
