HKL is an equilateral triangle, BCDE is a rectangle and KLFG is a trapezium. HKG and HLF are straight lines. If ∠s = 77°, find
- ∠KGF
- Sum of ∠n, ∠p, ∠q and ∠r.
(a)
∠HKL = 60° (Equilateral triangle)
∠KGF = ∠HKL = 60° (Corresponding angles)
(b)
∠BCD = 90° (Right angle)
∠CBE = 90° (Right angle)
∠t + ∠u
= 180° - 90°
= 90° (Angles sum of triangle)
∠v + ∠w
= 180° - 90°
= 90° (Angles sum of triangle)
∠n + ∠s + ∠t = 180° (Angles on a straight line)
∠p + ∠u = 180° (Angles on a straight line)
∠q + ∠v = 180° (Angles on a straight line)
∠r + ∠w = 180° (Angles on a straight line)
Sum of ∠n, ∠p, ∠q, ∠r and ∠s
= (∠n + ∠p + ∠q + ∠r + ∠s + ∠t + ∠u + ∠v + ∠w) - (∠t + ∠u + ∠v + ∠w)
= (4 x 180°) - (2 x 90°)
= 720° - 180°
= 540°
Sum of ∠n, ∠p, ∠q and ∠r
= 540° - 77°
= 463°
Answer(s): (a) 60°; (b) 463°
