Explanation:

trapezium means especially

AD || BC

AC = BC tells us that ABC is an isoceles triangle (both legs are identically long, which makes also their angles with their baseline AB equal).

therefore, A1 = B = 80°.

and because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we get

180 = 80 + 80 + C1

C1 = 20°

(e)(1)

because of the law of a line intersecting parallel lines with the same angles, and AC is intersecting the parallel lines AD and BC, we know that

C1 = A2 = 20°

(e)(2)

because also the sum of all angles around a single point on one side of a line is 180°, we know D1 + D2 = 180°.

we also know that D2 is an angle in an equilateral triangle (that means all 3 sides are equally long, and therefore all 3 angles are equal too = 180/3 = 60°) and therefore

D2 = 60°.

therefore, D1 = 180 - 60 = 120°.

so, for the triangle ACD we have

180 = A2 + D1 + C2 = 20 + 120 + C2

C2 = 40° = 2×20 = 2×C1

(f)(1)

a kite is a quadrilateral, and as such the sum of all angles is 360°.

again remember the symmetry of a kite, so the angles at H and at F must be equal.

H = F = x

so, we have

360 = 110 + 50 + H + F = 110 + 50 + 2x

200 = 2x

x = 100°

(f)(2)

after drawing EG we see that this line splits the kite into 2 equal (ahem, congruent) triangles due to the symmetry of a kite exactly along that line.

and that splits both angles E and G in half for each of the triangles.

again, the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°, so

180 = 110/2 + 50/2 + x = 55 + 25 + x = 80 + x

x = 100°
