Worked solution
12(a)
1. Find the interior angle of the rhombus at B
Since is a rhombus, adjacent angles are supplementary.
2. Find the angle $\angle YBX$ using the diagonal property of a rhombus
The diagonal bisects the interior angle at .
3. Find $\angle YBC$ on the straight line $XBC$
Since is a straight line, angles on a straight line add up to .
4. Calculate $\angle c$ using the isosceles triangle $YBC$
In , we are given , so it is an isosceles triangle.
12(b)
1. Identify parallel lines from the rhombus to find $\angle XZY$.
Since is a rhombus, its opposite sides are parallel, so .
Since is a straight line, the line is parallel to .
Therefore, alternate interior angles are equal:
2. Find $\angle WZY$ and use the trapezium's parallel sides to find $\angle w$.
In the trapezium , we are given .
Interior angles on the same side of the transversal sum to :
