Part 4.1· 2 steps

  1. Identify the relationship between the angles.

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

  2. Set up and solve the equation for xx.

    x+2x+3x=180∘x + 2x + 3x = 180^\circ 6x=180∘6x = 180^\circ x=180∘6x = \frac{180^\circ}{6} x=30∘x = 30^\circ

    Reason: Angles on a straight line.

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

Part 4.2

108∘\text{108}^\circ

  1. Identify parallel lines and transversals.

    The lines PQ and RS are parallel (indicated by the arrows). The other two lines are transversals.

  2. Find the size of yy.

    Angle yy and the 30∘30^\circ angle (at P) are alternate interior angles. Since PQ is parallel to RS, alternate interior angles are equal.

    y=30∘y = 30^\circ

    Reason: Alternate interior angles (PQ ∥\parallel RS).

  3. Find the size of zz.

    Angle zz and the 42∘42^\circ angle (at Q) are alternate interior angles. Since PQ is parallel to RS, alternate interior angles are equal.

    z=42∘z = 42^\circ

    Reason: Alternate interior angles (PQ ∥\parallel RS).

  4. Find the size of xx.

    Consider the triangle formed by the intersection of the two transversals and the line segment RS. The angles at R and S within this triangle are yy and zz. The angle vertically opposite to xx is the third angle in this triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.
    Let the angle at the intersection point inside the triangle be θ\theta.

    θ=180∘−(y+z)\theta = 180^\circ - (y + z) θ=180∘−(30∘+42∘)\theta = 180^\circ - (30^\circ + 42^\circ) θ=180∘−72∘\theta = 180^\circ - 72^\circ θ=108∘\theta = 108^\circ

    Angle xx is vertically opposite to θ\theta. Vertically opposite angles are equal.

    x=θx = \theta x=108∘x = 108^\circ

    Reason: Vertically opposite angles and sum of angles in a triangle.

    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 106∘106^\circ angle are vertically opposite angles.

  2. Determine the value of cc.

    Vertically opposite angles are equal.

    c=106∘c = 106^\circ

    Reason: Vertically opposite angles.

    The unknown angle cc is 106∘\boxed{\text{106}^\circ}.
