 ∠EAD + ∠EDA + ∠DEA = 180     (∠ sum of △) 
2∠EAD + 108 = 180
∠EAD = 36
∠HAJ = ∠EAD                    (vert. opp. ∠s)

In △HAJ,
b = 25 + ∠HAJ                    (ext.∠ of △)

=  61

7. In △ADE,
p + 2p – 36 = 108 (ext. ∠ of △) 3p
= 144
p = 48
2p – 36 + ∠EDF + 90 = 180 (adj.∠s on st. line)
2  48 – 36 + ∠EDF + 90 = 180
∠EDF + 150 = 180
∠EDF = 30
 ∠EDF + ∠DFC = 30 + 150

EC = (x – 9) + 6 2

EC2 = x2 + 27

In ∆BCE, BC2 + BE2 = EC2 (Pyth. Thm.)

Since BE = AE = x,
BC2 + AE2 = EC2
BC2 + x2 = x2 + 27

12. (a) OY = OZ

 OZY = OYZ =  (base S, isos. ∆)
 XOZ = 2 (ext.  of ∆)

Area of surface XX’ZZ’=10 

YZ = 2 (6cos 15°)

Area of plane YY’ZZ’ = 12cos15° x 10
= 120cos15°

Area of XX’YY’ = 6 x 2 x 10
= 120

Therefore, total surface area of prism

= 10  + 120cos15° + (9 + 3) + (9 + 3) + 120
= 304 cm2 (correct to 3 s.f.)

13. (a) ∠DCG = 180° – 90° – 35° (adj. ∠ on st. line)

= 55°
∠CDG = 180° - 90° -∠DCG (∠ sum of ∆)
= 35°
∠ADH = 180° – 90° -∠CDG (adj. ∠ on st. line)
 = 55°

(b)   Height of the vertex A from the ground is FG.

In △CDG,
DG
sin ∠DCG =
DC
DG = 90 sin 55 cm
In △ADF,
DF
cos ∠ADF =
AD
DF = 50 cos 55 cm

FG = DG  DF
= (90 sin 55  50 cos 55) cm
= 102 cm (corr. to the nearest cm)

∴The height of the vertex 
   A    from the ground is 
   102
    cm
   .

(c) CG = 90 cos 55

Let CX = k and XG = 3k, where k is any non-zero number.
k + 3k = 90 cos 55
k = 12.9 cm
∴ CX = 12.9 cm

XG = 3k
= 67.5cos 55 [38.7164]

∴∠DXG =62.2935

∠DXG = ∠DCX + ∠CDX (ext.  of ∆)

62.2935 = 55 + ∠CDX
∠CDX = 7.29  (corr. To 3 sig. fig.)
