The figure is not drawn to scale. It shows a parallelogram PQRS and an isosceles triangle LPS next to it. ∠NSL = 8°. NM and LK are straight lines. Find
- ∠v
- ∠t + ∠u
- ∠u
(a)
∠v
= 180° - ∠NSL
= 180° - 8°
= 172° (Angles on a straight line)
(b)
∠t = ∠PSR (Parallelogram)
∠t + ∠u
= 180° - 8° - 51°
= 121° (Angles on a straight line)
(c)
∠LPS = ∠t (Corresponding angles)
∠LPS = ∠SLP (Isosceles triangle)
∠t
= 180° - (∠t + ∠u)
= 180° - 121°
= 59°
∠u
= 180° - ∠t - ∠t
= 180° - 59° - 59°
= 62° (Angles sum of triangle)
Answer(s): (a) 172°; (b) 121°; (c) 62°
