Worked solution
14(a)
1. Identify the isosceles triangle formed by the sides of the rhombus
In the rhombus , all four sides are equal in length. Therefore, , which makes an isosceles triangle.
2. Calculate the required angle using the angle sum of the triangle
Since is isosceles with , the base angles are equal: .
Using the angle sum of a triangle:
14(b)
1. Find $\angle FEC$ using the properties of a rhombus.
In the rhombus , the diagonal bisects the interior angle . Therefore, .
Since is a straight line, the angle is the same as , so .
2. Calculate $\angle EGF$ using the angle sum of $\triangle EFG$.
In , the sum of the interior angles is .
14(c)
1. Find the interior angle $\angle DCF$ of the rhombus.
In rhombus , , so is isosceles.
Since consecutive angles in a rhombus are supplementary:
2. Find $\angle BCF$ using angles at a point.
The angles around point are (interior of square), (interior of rhombus), and .
3. Use the isosceles triangle $\triangle BCF$ to find $\angle CBF$.
Since is a square and is a rhombus sharing side , we have .
Therefore, is an isosceles triangle with .
