Answers
1 a a = e corresponding angles, b = d alternate angles

the sum of the angles of the triangle = a + b + c = e + d + c = 180°

(angles on a straight line)

b The exterior angle of angle c is (d + e), which equal to (b + a), which is the sum of
the two interior opposite angles. [4]

2 45° [2]

3 a a and e or b and h

b a and g

c e and g or d and f [3]

4 a = 77°, b = 55°, c = 103° [3]

5 a Correct construction shown. Measure A = 76° to check accuracy.

b Check A is bisected (38°) with construction arcs shown. [4]

6 a Correct construction shown. Measure EF = 5.9 cm or E = 76° or F = 54°

to check accuracy.

b Check accuracy of 90° and bisection (3.15 cm) with construction arcs shown. [4]
