Part 4.1· 3 steps

  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

    The angles xx, 2x2x, and 3x3x lie on the straight line ABC. Angles on a straight line sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    x+2x+3x=180∘(Angles on a straight line)x + 2x + 3x = 180^\circ \quad (\text{Angles on a straight line})
  2. Combine like terms.

    6x=180∘6x = 180^\circ
  3. Solve for xx.

    x=180∘6x = \frac{180^\circ}{6} x=30∘x = 30^\circ

    The value of xx is 30∘\boxed{\text{30}^\circ}.

Part 4.2

108∘\text{108}^\circ

  1. Find the value of yy.

    The lines PQ and RS are parallel. The angle yy and the angle 30∘30^\circ are alternate interior angles.

    y=30∘(Alternate interior angles, PQ ∣∣ RS)y = 30^\circ \quad (\text{Alternate interior angles, PQ } || \text{ RS})
  2. Find the value of zz.

    The lines PQ and RS are parallel. The angle zz and the angle 42∘42^\circ are alternate interior angles.

    z=42∘(Alternate interior angles, PQ ∣∣ RS)z = 42^\circ \quad (\text{Alternate interior angles, PQ } || \text{ RS})
  3. Find the value of xx.

    Consider the triangle formed by the intersection of the two transversals and the line RS. The angles in this triangle are yy, xx, and zz. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    y+x+z=180∘(Sum of angles in a triangle)y + x + z = 180^\circ \quad (\text{Sum of angles in a triangle})

    Substitute the values of yy and zz:

    30∘+x+42∘=180∘30^\circ + x + 42^\circ = 180^\circ 72∘+x=180∘72^\circ + x = 180^\circ x=180∘−72∘x = 180^\circ - 72^\circ x=108∘x = 108^\circ

    The sizes are: x=108∘x = \boxed{\text{108}^\circ}, y=30∘y = \boxed{\text{30}^\circ}, z=42∘z = \boxed{\text{42}^\circ}.

Part 4.3

106∘\text{106}^\circ

  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

    The angle cc and the angle 106∘106^\circ are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal.

    c=106∘(Vertically opposite angles)c = 106^\circ \quad (\text{Vertically opposite angles})

    The unknown value is c=106∘c = \boxed{\text{106}^\circ}.
