The diagram above shows a kite ABCD where angle BAC = 30°. EB, BD and DF are three sides of a regular polygon. ABE and ADF are straight lines. The ratio of angle CBE to angle CBD is 3 : 2.

- (a)
Calculate the number of sides of the polygon.
- (b)
Find angle BCD.
It won't just hand you the answer — it asks where you're stuck.How the checker works
Worked solution
11(a)
1. Find the interior angle of the regular polygon at $B$.
In the kite, is the line of symmetry, so it bisects .
Given ,
Hence
Since , triangle is isosceles. Therefore
Since is a straight line,
So the interior angle of the regular polygon is .
2. Use the interior angle formula to find the number of sides.
For a regular polygon with sides,
So
sides
11(b)
1. Find $\angle CBD$ using the hexagon interior angle and the given ratio.
From part (a), the polygon has sides, so each interior angle is .
Since and are two sides of the regular polygon,
Given
and ,
2. Use the kite property to find $\angle BCD$.
In kite , , so triangle is isosceles.
Hence
Therefore,
