(c) NOT TO SCALE (d) NOT TO SCALE

5 (a) 15˚ (b) 150˚ (c) 51˚ (d) 64˚ (e) x = 45˚ and y = 100˚
(f) 100° (g) 30˚ (h) 70˚

6 Let MQN  x
Then PMQ  x (isosceles triangle)
So MPQ = 180 – 2x (angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees)
Therefore MPN = 180 – (180 – 2x) = 2x (angles on a straight line)
So PMN = 2x (isosceles triangle)
And NMQ = x + 2x = 3x
