Worked solution
9(a)
1. Find $\angle EDF$ using the isosceles triangle $\triangle EFD$.
Since , is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, .
2. Identify the parallel sides of the trapezium CDEF.
In trapezium , either or .
If , then alternate angles and would be equal. However, and , so is not parallel to .
Thus, .
3. Find $\angle CFD$ using alternate angles.
Since , alternate angles are equal:
.
4. Calculate $\angle FCD$ using the sum of angles in $\triangle FCD$.
In , the sum of angles is .
.
9(b)
1. Find $\angle GCD$ using the properties of the parallelogram
Since is a parallelogram, . Because is a straight line, .
Therefore, alternate angles are equal:
2. Find $\angle GCF$ using the result from part (a)
From part (a), we know .
3. Calculate $\angle CGF$ using the angle sum of $\triangle CGF$
In , the sum of angles is .
