The question, in short

Using a quadrilateral with side CD extended and an isosceles triangle on AB, find the values of x and y from the given angles.

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

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1Angle CDA = 180 − 104 = 76° (angles on a straight line)
  2. 2x = 360 − 70 − 130 − 76 = 84 (angles in a quadrilateral)
  3. 3AF = AB, so angles at F and B are equal
  4. 4y = (180 − 30) ÷ 2 = 75
  5. 5x = 84, y = 75

Answerx = 84, y = 75
