CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Sch 2009 P6 SA1 Paper 2 Q6

ABE is an isosceles triangle and BCDE is a rhombus. AED is a straight linie. Given that Angle ECG = 16 degrees, find Angle GCD.

Solution

Ange BEA --> (180 - 33) divided by 2 = 73.5
Angle BED --> 180 - 73.5 = 106.5
Angle CED --> 106.5 divided by 2 = 53.25
Angle ECD = Angle CED = 53.5
Angle GCD = 53.25 - 16 = 37.25

Answer: 37.25 degrees
