The question, in short

Two parallel lines are crossed by a straight line; using the angles marked x° and 68° on the lower line and y° on the upper line, find x and y.

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

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1x = 180 − 68 = 112 (angles on a straight line)
  2. 2y = 68 (alternate angles, parallel lines)
  3. 3x = 112, y = 68

Answerx = 112, y = 68
