The question, in short

Using the given parallel-line diagram with 59° and 37° marked, work out the sizes of angles a, b and c.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1a = 59 (vertically opposite angles)
  2. 2b = 37 (corresponding angles, parallel lines)
  3. 3c = 180 − 59 − 37 = 84 (angles in a triangle)
  4. 4a = 59, b = 37, c = 84

Answera = 59, b = 37, c = 84
