Cambridge O Level Mathematics 4024 · Paper 11 (Non-calculator) · Non-calculator · 2 marks

اقرأ هذا الحل مشروحاً بالعربي ←

The question, in short

Parallel lines ABC and DEF with BE and CE drawn; angle ABE = 123° and angle CEF = 40°. Find angle DEB and angle BEC.

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

Part (a) · 1 mark

Calculate the size of angle DEB using the parallel lines and the 123° angle.

  1. 1ABC ∥ DEF, so angle ABE + angle DEB = 180° (co-interior angles)
  2. 2Angle DEB = 180 − 123 = 57°

Answer57

Part (b) · 1 mark

Calculate the size of angle BEC using the angles found or given.

  1. 1Angles on the straight line DEF add to 180°
  2. 2Angle BEC = 180 − 57 − 40 = 83°
