In the figure, BCD and DEF are isosceles triangles where BD = CD and DE = DF. Given that EG, FJ and BL are straight lines, find
- ∠HML
- ∠FGM
(a)
∠BCD = ∠CBD = ∠DEF = ∠DFE (Isosceles triangle)
∠DFE = ∠GFM = 38° (Verticallly opposite angles)
∠JFM
= 38° - 11°
= 27°
∠FHM
= 180° - 110°
= 70° (Angles on a straight line)
∠HML
= 70° + 27°
= 97° (Exterior angle of a triangle)
(b)
∠FGM
= 97° - 38°
= 59° (Exterior angle of a triangle)
Answer(s): (a) 97°; (b) 59°
