Question

How to find the answers ?

Answer 1

AD || BC and BD is the transversal,

Therefore, angle DBC = angle ADB = 42° [alternate angles]

AD || BC and BD is the transversal,

angle BAD + angle ABD + angle DBC = 180° [co-interior angles]

or, 106°+ angle ABD + 42° = 180°

or, 148° + angle ABD = 180°

or, angle ABD = 180°-148° = 32°

Therefore, angle ABC = (32+42)° = 74°

AB||CD and BC is the transversal,

angle ABC + angle BCD = 180° [co-interior angles]

or, 72+2x+12 = 180

or, 84+2x = 180

or, 2x=180-84 = 96

or, x = 48

Answers: a)48°

b)42°

c)72°
