In the figure, UVWX is a quadrilateral where ∠UVW = 131° and ∠VWX = 116°. ∠WXY = 71° and VW = WX. The point Y on UX is such that VY is parallel to WX. Calculate
- ∠VXY
- ∠VUY
(a)
∠WXV
= (180° - 116°) ÷ 2
= 32° (Isosceles triangle)
∠VXY
= 71° - 32°
= 39°
(b)
∠VUY
= 360° - 116° - 71° - 131°
= 42° (Sum of angles in a quadrilateral)
Answer(s): (a) 39°; (b) 42°
