The question, in short

Quadrilateral ABCD with straight lines ECD, BCF and GAD; angles ABC = 135°, ECF = 108°, ADC = 54°, GAB = x°. Find x, justifying each stage.

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

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1BCF and ECD are straight lines crossing at C
  2. 2Angle BCD = 108° (vertically opposite angles are equal)
  3. 3The angles in quadrilateral ABCD add up to 360°
  4. 4Angle BAD = 360 − (108 + 135 + 54)
  5. 5Angle BAD = 360 − 297 = 63°
  6. 6GAD is a straight line, so x = 180 − 63 (angles on a straight line add up to 180°)
  7. 7x = 117
