In Figure, if AB\(||\)CD, EF\(⊥\)CD and \(∠ \)GED=126°, find \(∠ \)AGE,\(∠ \)GEF and \(∠ \)FGE.
Solution and Explanation
It is given that, AB \(||\) CD.
EF \(⊥\) CD
\(∠\)GED = 126º
\(⇒\) ∠GEF + \(∠\)FED = 126º
\(⇒\) \(∠\)GEF + 90º = 126º
\(⇒\) \(∠\)GEF = 36º
\(∠\)AGE and \(∠\)GED are alternate interior angles.
\(⇒\) \(∠\)AGE = \(∠\)GED = 126º
However, \(∠\)AGE + \(∠\)FGE = 180º (Linear pair)
\(⇒\) 126º + \(∠\)FGE = 180º
\(⇒\)\(∠\)FGE = 180º − 126º = 54º
∴ \(∠\)AGE = 126º, \(∠\)GEF = 36º, \(∠\)FGE = 54º

Questions Asked in CBSE Class IX exam
(Street Plan) : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
(i) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
(ii) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
