Worked solution
9(a)
1. Identify the properties of the square EFGH and its diagonal HF
In square , is a diagonal. The diagonal of a square bisects the interior angle.
2. Calculate angle x
So, .
9(b)
1. Find $\angle HIG$ and $\angle FIC$ using the properties of the square.
Since is a square, .
Assuming is the intersection of and , are collinear.
In , the sum of angles is :
(vertically opposite angles)
2. Find $\angle C$ (or $\angle BCD$) using the angle sum of $\triangle FIC$.
In :
3. Find $\angle EBF$ using interior angles between parallel lines.
Since , the interior angles on the same side of the transversal sum to .
