Worked solution

6(a)

1. Identify the properties of triangle ADG

Since AD=DGAD = DG, triangle ADGADG is an isosceles triangle. The base angles ∠DAG\angle DAG and ∠DGA\angle DGA are equal.

2. Calculate $\angle p$ using the sum of angles in a triangle

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ. Given the vertex angle ∠ADG=50∘\angle ADG = 50^\circ, we have:
∠p=∠DAG=180∘−50∘2=130∘2=65∘\angle p = \angle DAG = \frac{180^\circ - 50^\circ}{2} = \frac{130^\circ}{2} = 65^\circ

Answer

65∘65^\circ

6(b)

1. Find the base angle of the isosceles triangle ADG.

In △ADG\triangle ADG, AD=DGAD = DG, so it is an isosceles triangle.
∠DAG=180∘−50∘2=65∘\angle DAG = \frac{180^\circ - 50^\circ}{2} = 65^\circ

2. Use parallel lines to find $\angle q$.

Since AG∥JKAG \parallel JK, the corresponding angle to ∠DAG\angle DAG along the transversal ADAD is the angle at CC (inside △CDE\triangle CDE).
∠q=∠DAG=65∘\angle q = \angle DAG = 65^\circ (corresponding angles, AG∥JKAG \parallel JK)

Answer

65∘65^\circ
