The question, in short

Using the quadrilateral ABDE with angles 52° and 112°, straight line ABC, and isosceles triangle BCD with BD = CD, find x, justifying each step.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1Angles in a quadrilateral add to 360°: angle ABD = 360 − 52 − 112 − 90 = 106°
  2. 2Angles on a straight line add to 180°: angle DBC = 180 − 106 = 74°
  3. 3Triangle BCD is isosceles (BD = CD), so angle BCD = 74°
  4. 4Angles in a triangle add to 180°: x = 180 − 74 − 74 = 32
