Question 12.
In the given figure, find the measure of the angles marked with a, b, c, d, e and f.
Solution:
∠a = 180° -129° = 51°
∠b = 180° – (51° + 92°)
= 180° – 143° = 37°
∠c = 180° – 88° = 92°
∠d = 180° – 152° = 28°
∠e = 180° – 143° = 37°
∠f= 180° – (∠e + ∠d)
= 180° – (37° + 28°)
= 180°- 65°= 115°
∠g = 180° – ∠f = 180° – 115° = 65°

Question 15.
Verify the ‘Euler’s formula’ V + F = E + 2 for the given figures.
(a) A triangular prism having 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices.
(b) A rectangular prism with 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.
(c) A pentagonal prism with 7 faces, 15 edges and 10 vertices.
(d) A tetrahedron -with 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.
Solution:
(a) Here, F = 5, E = 9 and V = 6
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 6 + 5 = 9 + 2
⇒ 11 = 11
Hence, verified.

(b) Here, F = 6, E = 12 and V = 8
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 8 + 6 = 12 + 2
⇒ 14 = 14
Hence, verified.

(c) Here, F = 7, E = 15 and V = 10
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 10 + 7 = 15 + 2
⇒ 17 = 17
Hence, verified.

(d) Here, F = 4, E = 6 and V = 4
∴ V + F = E + 2
⇒ 4 + 4 = 6 + 2
⇒ 8 = 8
Hence, verified.

Question 19.
In the given figure, find the values of x, y, z, s and m.
Understanding Elementary Shape Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 5
Solution:
Given that ∠A = 40°
(i) ∠DAB + ∠ABC = 180° (adjacent angles)
⇒ 40° + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° – 40° = 140°
Hence, ∠x = 140°

(ii) ∠x + ∠y = 180° (adjacent angles)
⇒ 140° + ∠y = 180°
⇒ ∠y = 180° – 140° = 40°
Hence, ∠y = 40°

(iii) ∠y + ∠z – 180° (adjacent angles)
⇒ 40° + ∠z = 180°
⇒ ∠z = 180° – 40° = 140°
Hence, ∠z = 140°

(iv) ∠x + ∠s = 180° (straight angles)
⇒ 140° + ∠s = 180°
⇒ ∠s = 180° – 140° = 40°
Hence, ∠s = 40°

(v) ∠m + ∠z = 180° (straight angles)
⇒ ∠m + 140° = 180°
⇒ ∠m = 180° – 140° = 40°

Question 20.
Find the value of x from the given figure and hence find the measure of each angle of the triangle.
Understanding Elementary Shape Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 5
Solution:
(i) Sum of the three angles of a triangle = 180°
∴ 2x + 30° + 60° – x + 3x – 10° = 180°
⇒ (2x – x + 3x) + (30° + 60° – 10°) = 180°
⇒ 4x + 80° = 180°
⇒ 4x = 180° – 80°
⇒ 4x = 100°
∴ x = \frac { { 100 }^{ 0 } }{ 4 }= 25°
∴ Measure of the angles are:
(i) (2x + 30)° – 2 x 25° + 30° = 80°
(ii) (60 – x)° = 60° – 25° = 35°
(iii) (3x – 10)° = 3 x 25° – 10° = 75° – 10° = 65°
Hence, x = 25° and the angles of the triangles are: 80°, 35° and 65°.
