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 ∠p.
- Find ∠q.
(a)
∠WCE
= 90° - 80°
= 10°
∠p
= 90° - 10°
= 80°
(b)
∠WXA = ∠XYZ = 125° (Corresponding angles)
∠XAB
= 180° - 125°
=55° (Interior angles)
∠q
= 360° - 81° - 55°
= 224°
Answer(s): (a) 80°; (b) 224°
