Question 44

waecmaths question: 

In the diagram PQ is parallel to RX, $\angle QPS=105{}^\circ $ and $\angle FEG=50{}^\circ $ . Use the diagram to answer question 44

Find the value of m.

 

Option A: 

130o

Option B: 

105o­­

Option C: 

75o

Option D: 

55o

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & \angle EFG+\angle GFQ=180{}^\circ \text{  }\!\!\{\!\!\text{ sum of }\angle \text{s on a str}\text{. line }\!\!\}\!\!\text{ } \\ & \angle EFG+105{}^\circ =180{}^\circ  \\ & \angle EFG=75{}^\circ  \\ & \text{Consider }\vartriangle EFG \\ & \angle EFG+\angle FEG+\angle EGF=180{}^\circ  \\ & 75{}^\circ +50{}^\circ +m=180{}^\circ  \\ & m=55{}^\circ  \\\end{align}$
