Answer:
e)
a = 58°
alternate angles
b = a = 58°
Triangle is scalene (indicated by the 2 dashes on the triangle)
d = 180 - (58*2)
d = 64°
c = 58°
use either 180- (64+58)
which is angles in a straight line = 180 total
or
alternate angles
b = c = 58
f) x = 50°
alternate angles
y+z = 180-50
y+z = 130
we know that y = z
scalene triangle indicated by arrows (both bases are same angle)
so 130/2 = y and z
65 = y
65 = z
g) x = 55
alternate angles
on the diagram take the triangle which has x and y
you can see 95° outside the triangle, it’s on a straight line and will help us find the third angle for that triangle
180-95 = 85
180 - (85+55) = y
y = 40
z = y = 40
alternate angles
h)
180-78 = 102
beside angle a would be the angle 2a
alternate angles (look at the photo)
180 = 102 + a + 2a
180 = 3a + 102
78 = 3a
a = 26°
2a = 52
b = 26
use either alternate angles
a = b
or total angles in a triangle = 180°
102 + b + 56 = 180
b = 180-52-102
