In the figure below, ABCD is a trapezium. APB, DQC, RCS and PQR are straight lines. APB is parallel to DQC and AD is parallel to PQR. ∠BCS = 50°, ∠BCQ = 90° and ∠QRC = 95°.

- (a)
Find ∠DQP.
- (b)
Find ∠ADQ.

Worked solution
12(a)
1. Find $\angle QCS$ and then $\angle QCR$
Since is a straight line, angles on a straight line add up to :
2. Find $\angle RQC$ using the angle sum of $\triangle RQC$
In , the sum of angles is :
3. Find $\angle DQP$ using vertically opposite angles
Since and are straight lines, and are vertically opposite angles.
12(b)
1. Find $\angle QCR$ using the straight line RCS
Since are collinear, the angles on the straight line at sum to .
2. Find $\angle RQC$ using the angle sum of $\triangle QRC$
In :
3. Find $\angle DQP$ (the answer to part a) using vertically opposite angles
Since and are straight lines:
(vertically opposite angles)
4. Find $\angle ADQ$ using alternate angles
Given that , and is a transversal:
(alternate angles, )
