Question

In the diagram, the straight line ABC is parallel to EFG and DB is parallel to FC. Given that ABD=38 degrees and DFE=62 degrees. Find angle BDF and CFG

Answer 1

Based on the calculations, the measure of angle BDF and CFG are 100° and 38° respectively.

The condition for two parallel lines.

In Geometry, two (2) straight lines are considered to be parallel if their slopes are the same (equal) and they have different y-intercepts. This ultimately implies that, two (2) straight lines are parallel under the following conditions:

m₁ = m₂

Note: m is the slope.

What is the alternate interior angles theorem?

The alternate interior angles theorem states that when two (2) parallel lines are cut through by a transversal, the alternate interior angles that are formed are congruent.

Based on the alternate interior angles theorem, we can infer and logically deduce the following properties from the diagram (see attachment):

• <ABD = <BDH = 38°

• <DFE = <HDF = 62°

For angle BDF, we have:

<BDF = <BDH + <HDF

<BDF = 38° + 62°

<BDF = 100°.

Since angles BDF and DFC are linear pair, they are supplementary angles. Thus, we have:

∠BDF + <DFC = 180°

<DFC = 180 - ∠BDF

<DFC = 180 - 100

<DFC = 80°.

For angle CFG, we have:

∠DFE + <DFC + <CFG= 180°

<CFG = 180° - ∠DFE - <DFC

<CFG = 180° - 62° - 80°

<CFG = 38°.
