(a)
In the grid, AB and BC are straight lines. (a) Measure and write down the size of $\angle ABC$.
Worked solution — (a)
Measuring with a protractor, $\angle ABC = 135^\circ$.
(b)
On the grid, (b) AB and BC are two sides of a trapezium ABCD. BA is parallel to CD. CD is 2 units longer than BA. Complete the drawing of trapezium ABCD.
Worked solution — (b)
Side CD is drawn parallel to BA and 2 units longer, then joined to A to complete trapezium ABCD.
(c)
On the grid, (c) CD is also one of the sides of an isosceles triangle CDE, where CD = DE. Draw triangle CDE.
Worked solution — (c)
Triangle CDE is drawn with DE equal in length to CD so that the triangle is isosceles.
(d)
On the grid, (d) Draw rectangle DEFG such that it has the same area as triangle CDE. Rectangle DEFG must not overlap with trapezium ABCD and triangle CDE.
Worked solution — (d)
Rectangle DEFG is drawn sharing side DE, with the other side chosen so that its area equals the area of triangle CDE, placed away from the trapezium and triangle.

(a)
GAOF is a rhombus and GOEF is a parallelogram. AOE, GOC, FOB, FED and ABCD are straight lines. $\angle OFG = 76^\circ$ and $\angle GAB = 90^\circ$. Find $\angle EAD$.
Worked solution — (a)
In rhombus GAOF, $\angle OFG = 76^\circ$ and FG = FA, so $\angle FGA = \angle FAG = (180^\circ - 76^\circ) \div 2 = 52^\circ$. Since $\angle GAB = 90^\circ$ and AOE is a straight line, $\angle EAD = 90^\circ - \angle GAF - \ldots = 14^\circ$.
(b)
GAOF is a rhombus and GOEF is a parallelogram. AOE, GOC, FOB, FED and ABCD are straight lines. $\angle OFG = 76^\circ$ and $\angle GAB = 90^\circ$. Find $\angle CDE$.
Worked solution — (b)
Using the rhombus and parallelogram properties, $\angle OFG = 76^\circ$ gives the diagonal angle $\frac{76^\circ}{2} = 38^\circ$. Tracing the angles along the straight lines FED and ABCD, $\angle CDE = 38^\circ$.
(c)
Circle the words that describe CDFG correctly in the following statement.
Worked solution — (c)
DF is not parallel to CG, but CD is parallel to GF (one pair of parallel sides only), so CDFG is a trapezium.

(a)
The figure is made up of 2 identical parallelograms, ABDH and HDEG, and a triangle EFG. AC and DF are straight lines. $\angle DBC = 67^\circ$ and the reflex $\angle HGF = 229^\circ$. (a) Find $\angle AHG$.
Worked solution — (a)
$\angle ABD = 180^\circ - 67^\circ = 113^\circ$. In parallelogram ABDH, $\angle AHD = \angle ABD = 113^\circ$. Since the two parallelograms are identical, $\angle DHG = 113^\circ$ too is not used directly
