i) In the figure 

the angles are 70°, x°, x° (angles in an Isosceles triangle) 

Also 70° + x° + x° = 180° (angle – sum property) 

2x° + 70°= 180° 

2x° = 180° – 70° [∵ y° = x°] 

2x° = 110° 

x°= 110°/2 = 55°

ii) From the figure, 

the Interior opposite angles of x are 50°, 500 (angles in an isosceles triangle) 

50° + 50° = x° (exterior angle is equal to sum of the Interior opposite angles) 

∴ x = 100° 

iii) From the figure, 

y° = 30° (vertically opposite angles) 

Also y = x° – 30° (equal angles of an Isosceles triangles) 

∴ x° = 30° and y = 30° 

iv) From the figure, 

a + 110° = 180° (linear pair of angles) 

∴ a = 180° – 110°= 70

Also y° = a° = 70° (equal angles of an isosceles triangle) 

x + y + a = 180 (sum of interior angles) 

x + 70 + 70 = 180 

x + 140 = 180 

x = 180 – 40 = 40°, 

∴ x = 40°
