The question, in short

Five identical kites meet edge to edge around point C, with angle DAB = 40° and D, C, E collinear; work out the marked angle x.

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

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1Six angles at C, one from each kite, make the straight line DCE
  2. 2Angle BCD = 180 ÷ 6 = 30°
  3. 3Kite angles add to 360° and the two side angles are equal
  4. 4x = (360 − 40 − 30) ÷ 2 = 145
