www.mathsguru.co.uk Answers. 1. (a) OCA = OAC by isosceles triangles. 12o. (b) Angles in a triangle add to 180o. 156o. 1 1 (c) ACB = AOB = (156 80) = 38o. 2 2 1 (d) (360 156) = 102o. 2
2. 62o.
3. ABC = 180 62o = 118o.
{ACB = 20o by the alternate segment theorem} BAC = 180 (118 + 20) = 42o.
4. (a) 100 ÷ 2 = 50o.
(b) 180 50 = 130o.
5. x = 52o by the alternate segment theorem.
AOC = 2 × 52o = 104o. y = 180 104 = 76o. z = 58o.
6. (a) (i) 160o (ii) 10o (iii) 40o (iv) 40o.
