Answer:

C = 112, A = 150, D = 30, B = 38

Explanation:

I solved C first using:

30+38+c = 180 (angles along a straight line should add up to 180 since a whole circle is 360)

-

I solved A by looking across from C.

Angles on opposite sides should mirror each other but A includes 38* + C

Just by doing 112 + 38 you get 150.

-

I solved D by looking at 30*, alternative interior angles are the same so D is 30*.

-

I solved B by taking C (112) and D (30) and adding them together and subtracting from 180.

Interior angles of a triangle should all add up to 180,

112 + 30 + B = 180

From this I got that B was 38.

Alternatively you can find this out by looking at the 38 degrees, corresponding congruent angles are always the same.

I suggest reviewing this angles sheet if you're ever stuck in the future.
