WAEC - Mathematics (1995 - No. 36)

In the diagram above, AB//CD. What is the size of the angle marked x?
103o
93o
77o
62o
52o

Explanation

a = 52o [vertical opp. ∠s are equal]
a = b = 52o [Alternate ∠s]
b = c = 52o [vertical opp ∠s]
c + x + 35o = 180o [sum of angles in a triangle]
52o + x + 35o = 180o
x + 87o = 180o
x = 180o - 87o = 93o
