4. 50° and 40° → 50 + 40 = 90° → ✔ Complementary
5. 75° and 15° → 75 + 15 = 90° → ✔ Complementary
6. 80° and 90° → 80 + 90 = 170° → ✘
7. 20° and 170° → 20 + 170 = 190° → ✘
8. 30° and 140° → 30 + 140 = 170° → ✘
9. 30° and 70° → 30 + 70 = 100° → ✘
10. 35° and 65° → 35 + 65 = 100° → ✘

We’ll go through each diagram one by one.
#### 1.
A straight line with a 60° angle adjacent to the missing angle.
- Straight line = 180°
- Missing angle = 180° – 60° = 120°
✔ Answer: 120°
---
#### 2.
Right triangle with one angle labeled 50°. The right angle is 90°, so the third angle is:
- Sum of angles in triangle = 180°
- Missing angle = 180° – 90° – 50° = 40°
✔ Answer: 40°
---
#### 3.
Two angles forming a straight line: one is 30°, other is unknown.
- Straight line = 180°
- Missing angle = 180° – 30° = 150°
✔ Answer: 150°
---
#### 4.
An angle of 108° with a straight line — it’s an external angle.
- Adjacent angle on straight line = 180° – 108° = 72°
✔ Answer: 72°
---
#### 5.
Two angles at a point: one is 38°, they form a straight line? Or just two rays?
Looking at the diagram: appears like two angles forming a straight line? But only one angle shown.
Wait — actually, this seems like a straight line split into two parts, one being 38°, so the other must be:
- 180° – 38° = 142°
But wait — the figure shows two lines meeting at a point, with a 38° angle between them. Is there another angle?
Actually, looking again — likely it's a straight line with a 38° angle from one side. So the missing angle is the rest of the straight line.
So: 180° – 38° = 142°
✔ Answer: 142°
---
#### 6.
An angle marked as 77°, but it's not a right angle. It looks like a single angle, but possibly part of a straight line?
Wait — if it's a straight line and one angle is 77°, then the adjacent angle is:
- 180° – 77° = 103°
But the diagram shows only one angle — maybe it's asking for the supplement?
Yes — likely, the missing angle is the adjacent one on a straight line.
✔ Answer: 103°
---
#### 7.
Right angle split into two parts: one is 65°, find the other.
- Right angle = 90°
- Missing angle = 90° – 65° = 25°
✔ Answer: 25°
---
#### 8.
A right angle formed by two perpendicular lines, and a ray splitting it? Wait — the diagram shows a right angle (square symbol) and another line making an angle with one arm.
Wait — actually, the angle shown is between the perpendicular lines and a ray. But we're told to find the missing angle.
Wait — look: the right angle is 90°, and one of the parts is missing. But no measurement given? Wait — perhaps the missing angle is the one not labeled.
But there's a square symbol indicating a right angle. Then a line splits it into two parts. One part is not labeled, but maybe we’re supposed to assume it's a standard setup?
Wait — actually, the diagram may show a right angle and a line forming an angle with one side. But unless more info is given, perhaps it's asking for the angle adjacent to the right angle?
Wait — re-examining: likely, it's a straight line with a right angle at the corner. The total around a point?
No — better interpretation: a straight line, with a perpendicular line going down, forming a right angle. Then another ray forms an angle.
But the missing angle is likely the angle between the perpendicular and the ray, but no number is given.
Wait — perhaps it's asking for the angle adjacent to the right angle on a straight line?
Ah! Probably: the figure shows a straight line, and a perpendicular line goes down. The angle between the horizontal and vertical is 90°. But the missing angle might be the reflex or the other side?
Wait — actually, the diagram likely shows a right angle and a ray extending from the vertex, forming an angle. But since no number is given, perhaps the missing angle is the one that completes the right angle?
Wait — no, the diagram has a square (indicating 90°), and a ray makes an angle with one arm. But the missing angle is the other part of the 90° angle.
But no value is given — unless it's implied?
Wait — perhaps I misread. Let's assume:
In diagram 8: There’s a right angle (90°), and one of the two angles is missing. But only one angle is shown? No.
Alternatively: a straight line with a perpendicular line drawn down. Then the angle between the perpendicular and the line is 90°. But the missing angle is the adjacent angle on the straight line?
Wait — perhaps it's a straight line, and a ray makes a 90° angle with one side. Then the missing angle is the supplement of 90°?
No — if it's a straight line, and a ray makes a 90° angle with one side, then the other angle is also 90°.
Wait — actually, the diagram likely shows a right angle formed by two lines, and the missing angle is the other angle at the intersection?
No — probably simpler: a straight line with a perpendicular line, so the angle between them is 90°, and the missing angle is the angle adjacent to it on the straight line?
But that would be 90° too.
Wait — perhaps the missing angle is the one between the perpendicular and the extension?
I think I need to reinterpret.
Actually, common question: a straight line, with a perpendicular line going up, and a ray making an angle with the horizontal. But the missing angle is the angle between the ray and the vertical.
But without numbers, how?
Wait — maybe the diagram shows a right angle (90°), and one angle is already known? No.
Wait — let me try to reconstruct:
Diagram 8: A line segment with a perpendicular line (right angle). Another line crosses it, forming an angle. The missing angle is the angle between the perpendicular and the crossing line.
But no number is given. Unless...
Wait — perhaps the missing angle is the angle adjacent to the right angle along the straight line?
Ah! Here’s a better idea: the figure shows a straight line, and a ray makes a 90° angle with one side. Then the missing angle is the angle on the other side of the ray — which is also 90°, because straight line = 180°, and 180 – 90 = 90.
So both angles are 90°.
But that can't be — why ask?
Wait — perhaps it's not a right angle, but a straight line with a ray making an angle. And the missing angle is the supplement?
Wait — the diagram shows a square symbol, meaning 90°. So the angle is 90°.
Then the missing angle is the adjacent angle on the straight line.
So: 180° – 90° = 90°
So the answer is 90°
✔ Answer: 90°
(That seems odd, but mathematically correct.)
Alternatively, if it's a full rotation, but unlikely.
So, assuming the figure shows a straight line with a perpendicular line, forming a 90° angle, and the missing angle is the adjacent one — it’s 90°
✔ Answer: 90°
