The question, in short

Two parallel lines are crossed by two intersecting straight lines; using the given angles 50° and 114°, find the value of x.

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

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1114° at the lower line: the other angle on the straight line is 180 − 114 = 66°
  2. 2Corresponding angles: 66° at the upper line, and vertically opposite it lies next to x°
  3. 3The 50° angle is vertically opposite the angle on the other side of x°
  4. 4Angles on a straight line: x = 180 − 66 − 50 = 64
