In the figure, not drawn to scale, two rectangles, VWCD and BCEF overlap each other as shown. Given that VY // BA and XA // YZ.
- Find ∠v.
- Find ∠w.
(a)
∠WCE
= 90° - 76°
= 14°
∠v
= 90° - 14°
= 76°
(b)
∠WXA = ∠XYZ = 120° (Corresponding angles)
∠XAB
= 180° - 120°
=60° (Interior angles)
∠w
= 360° - 84° - 60°
= 216°
Answer(s): (a) 76°; (b) 216°
