Solutions

1. The answer is A.
4x + 2x = 132o
6x = 132o
x = 22o

2. The answer is B.
∠MBC + 153o = 180o
∠MBC = 27o
3x = ∠MBC + 90o
3x = 27o + 90o
x = 39o

C
3. The answer is D.
Extend CD so that it meets AB at E. 39o

∠AED = 50o + 39o D

x 50o B
= 89o
x = ∠AED + 36o
36o E
= 89o + 36o
= 125o A

4. The answer is B.
∠BMN = 72o
∠BNM = ∠BMN
= 72o
In △BMN,
∠MBN + ∠BMN + ∠BNM = 180o
x + 72o + 72o = 180o
x = 36o
5. The answer is C.
∠ACD = ∠ADC
In △ACD,
∠ACD + ∠ADC + ∠CAD = 180o
2∠ACD + 44o = 180o
∠ACD = 68o
∠ABD + 46o = ∠ACD
∠ABD + 46o = 68o
∠ABD = 22o

6. The answer is B.
∠BED = 90o
∠AEB = 60o
∴ ∠AED = 90o + 60o
= 150o
∵ AE = BE = DE
∠EAD = ∠EDA
In △AED,
∠EAD + ∠EDA + ∠AED = 180o
2∠EAD + 150o = 180o
∠EAD = 15o
Similarly,
∠BAC = 15o
∠BAC + ∠CAD + ∠EAD = ∠BAE
15o + ∠CAD + 15o = 60o
∠CAD = 30o

7. The answer is C.
Size of an interior angle of a regular 15-sided polygon
=

= 156o
8. The answer is C.
The figure can be divided into two polygons, A and B, as shown below.
Sum of interior angles of the polygon A
=
= 360o A
B
Sum of interior angles of the polygon B
=
= 360o
Sum of the marked angles
= 360o + 360o
= 720o

9. The answer is A.
y + 130o + (360o– x) + 155o + 75o =
y– x + 720o = 540o
x– y = 180o

10. The answer is D.

2x + x + 55o + 105o + 65o = 360o
3x + 225o = 360o
x = 45o

11. The answer is C.

Refer to the figure.
a e
a + b + c + d + e = 360o f
f = 180o
b
∴ a + b + c + d + e + f = 360o + 180o
c d
= 540o

12. The answer is A.

Size of an interior angle of ABCDE
=
 = 108o
In the polygon ABCM,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠DME =
108o + 108o + 108o + ∠DME = 360o
∠DME = 36o

13. The answer is D.

I. ∵ △ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠ABC = 60o
II. ∵ △ADE is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠AED = 60o
∠BED + ∠AED = 180o
∠BED + 60o = 180o
∠BED = 120o
AB = AC = 4
AE = DE = 2
BE = 4–2 = 2
∴ DE = BE
∴ ∠BDE = ∠DBE
In △BDE,
∠BDE + ∠DBE + ∠BED = 180o
2∠BDE + 120o = 180o
∠BDE = 30o
III. ∠DBE = ∠BDE = 30o
∠ADE = ∠ABC = 60o
∴ ∠ADB = ∠CBD = 30o + 60o = 90o
∠ADB + ∠CBD = 180o
∴ AD // CB
I, II and III are true.

14. The answer is A.

2a + 48o + 90o + 5a + 13o + 47o + 90o–a = 360o
6a + 288o = 360o
6a = 72o
a = 12o

15. The answer is B.

 =

180n–360 = 3600
180n = 3960
n = 22

16. The answer is A.

=
180n–360 = 162n
18n = 360
n = 20

17. The answer is B.

=

180n–360–132n = 360
48n = 720
n = 15

18. The answer is D.

y = 4x
=

=
180n–180 = 1440
180n = 1620
n =9

19. The answer is C.

I. Each interior angle is 60o, which can divide 360o exactly.
II. Each interior angle is 108o, which cannot divide 360o exactly.
 III. Each interior angle is 120o, which can divide 360o exactly.
Only I and III are true.

20. The answer is C.

In the figure, w = a + b, x = c + d, y = e + f, z = h + g. b
