Question 25

Question. 25

The number of straight angles in Fig. 2.17 is ____.

Answer:

2

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Think: A straight angle looks like a straight line.

  1. By definition:
    \(\text{Straight angle} = 180^\circ\).

  2. In the figure, points A–O–C lie on one straight line.
    So, \(\angle AOC = 180^\circ\).
    Hence, \(\angle AOC\) is a straight angle.

  3. Points B–O–D lie on another straight line.
    So, \(\angle BOD = 180^\circ\).
    Hence, \(\angle BOD\) is a straight angle.

  4. Counting straight angles:
    \(\angle AOC\) and \(\angle BOD\) → total \(2\).
