The first one because angle one is the same degrees as angle 8, which proves why p is parallel to q
About 90 maybe but not sure
Answer:
- a = 36°
- b = 36°
- c = 72°
- d = 72°
- e = 108°
- f = 16°
- g = 74°
- h = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
You are expected to know and make use of the following relations:
- vertical angles are congruent
- angles of a linear pair are supplementary
- angles of a triangle sum to 180°
- alternate interior angles are congruent (at parallel lines)
- corresponding angles are congruent (at parallel lines)
- acute angles of a right triangle are complementary
- base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent

For this problem, it isn't always easiest to work the questions in order. It is best to start with the angles easiest to find from those given.
b and 144° are a linear pair, so b = 180° -144° = 36°
a and b are alternate interior angles, so a = b = 36°
2d and 144° are corresponding angles, so d = 144°/2 = 72°
e is the apex angle of an isosceles triangle with base angles 36°, so is 180° -2(36°) = 108° = e
f and 164° are a linear pair, so f = 180° -164° = 16°
g and f are complementary, so g = 90° -16° = 74°
g+h is a vertical angle with 144°, so is congruent to that. h = 144° -74° = 70°
c is the base angle of an isosceles triangle with b as the vertex angle. That means c = (180° -36°)/2 = 72°
