In the figure, three coplanar lines intersect at a point $O$, forming angles as shown in the figure. Find the values of $x, y, z$ and $u$."


Given:

Three coplanar lines intersect at a point $O$.

To do:

We have to find the values of $x, y, z$ and $u$.

Solution:

We know that,

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Sum of the angles on a line is $180^o$.

Therefore,

$\angle BOD = 90^o, \angle DOF = 50^o$

$\angle BOD + \angle DOF + \angle FOA = 180^o$

$90^o + 50^o + u = 180^o$

$u = 180^o-140^o$

$u= 40^o$

$x = u =40^o$             (Vertically opposite angles)

$x+y+90^o=180^o$

$40^o+y=180^o-90^o$

$y=90^o-40^o$

$y=50^o$

$z = 90^o$                    (Vertically opposite angles)

Hence, $x = 40^o, y = 50^o, z = 90^o$ and $u = 40^o$.
