Here are the solutions to the questions:

Part 2.1

Determine the value of x,y,x, y, and zz, in alphabetical order for each diagram. All reasons must be given.

Part a

x=50∘,y=130∘,z=130∘x = 50^\circ, y = 130^\circ, z = 130^\circ

(Continuing from previous turn)

Statement: x=50∘x = 50^\circ
Reason: Vertically opposite angles are equal

Statement: y+50∘=180∘y + 50^\circ = 180^\circ
Reason: Angles on a straight line

  1. Calculate yy.

    y=180∘−50∘y = 180^\circ - 50^\circ y=130∘y = 130^\circ

    Statement: z=yz = y
    Reason: Vertically opposite angles are equal

  2. Calculate zz.

    z=130∘z = 130^\circ

    The values are x=50∘,y=130∘,z=130∘x = 50^\circ, y = 130^\circ, z = 130^\circ.

    x=50∘,y=130∘,z=130∘\boxed{x = 50^\circ, y = 130^\circ, z = 130^\circ}

Part b

x=52∘,y=52∘x = 52^\circ, y = 52^\circ

Statement: The top and bottom sides are parallel (indicated by arrows).
Statement: y+90∘+38∘=180∘y + 90^\circ + 38^\circ = 180^\circ
Reason: Sum of angles in a triangle

  1. Calculate yy.

    y=180∘−90∘−38∘y = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 38^\circ y=52∘y = 52^\circ

    Statement: x=yx = y
    Reason: Alternate interior angles (parallel lines)

  2. Calculate xx.

    x=52∘x = 52^\circ

    The values are x=52∘,y=52∘x = 52^\circ, y = 52^\circ.

    x=52∘,y=52∘\boxed{x = 52^\circ, y = 52^\circ}

Part c

x=70∘,y=110∘x = 70^\circ, y = 110^\circ

The quadrilateral below is a parallelogram.

Statement: x=70∘x = 70^\circ
Reason: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

  1. Calculate xx.

    x=70∘x = 70^\circ

    Statement: y+70∘=180∘y + 70^\circ = 180^\circ
    Reason: Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary

  2. Calculate yy.

    y=180∘−70∘y = 180^\circ - 70^\circ y=110∘y = 110^\circ

    The values are x=70∘,y=110∘x = 70^\circ, y = 110^\circ.

    x=70∘,y=110∘\boxed{x = 70^\circ, y = 110^\circ}
