Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step based on the provided geometrical figure and details:

Given:

  • ABCDGFAB \parallel CD \parallel GF and AGABAG \perp AB.
  • The diagram shows multiple parallel lines and transversal lines intersecting these parallels.

i) Find the measure of angle xx:

  • G=70\angle G = 70^\circ is given in the diagram.
  • Since ABGFAB \parallel GF and AGAG is the transversal, angle xx is corresponding to G=70\angle G = 70^\circ because corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel.

Thus, x=70x = 70^\circ.

ii) Find the value of yy:

  • ABCDAB \parallel CD and AGAG is a transversal. Therefore, D+G=180\angle D + \angle G = 180^\circ (co-interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary).
  • Given G=70\angle G = 70^\circ, we have: y+70=180y + 70^\circ = 180^\circ Solving for yy: y=110y = 110^\circ

OR (Alternative option):

If z=yz = y, find the value of x+y+zx + y + z.

Since z=yz = y, we already know y=110y = 110^\circ. Therefore, z=110z = 110^\circ.

Now, calculate x+y+zx + y + z: x+y+z=70+110+110=290x + y + z = 70^\circ + 110^\circ + 110^\circ = 290^\circ

iii) Find the measure of BDC\angle BDC:

  • From the diagram, BDC\angle BDC is formed by the transversal BDBD crossing parallel lines ABAB and CDCD.
  • Since ABCDAB \parallel CD, BDC\angle BDC is equal to ACD\angle ACD (alternate interior angles). Hence, BDC=x=70\angle BDC = x = 70^\circ.

Summary:

  1. x=70x = 70^\circ.
  2. y=110y = 110^\circ.
  3. x+y+z=290x + y + z = 290^\circ (if z=yz = y).
  4. BDC=70\angle BDC = 70^\circ.

Would you like further details or explanations on any part of the solution?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:

  1. How do alternate interior angles work when lines are parallel?
  2. Can you explain co-interior angles in parallel lines and transversal intersections?
  3. Why are corresponding angles equal when a transversal crosses parallel lines?
  4. What is the difference between alternate and corresponding angles?
  5. How can you prove lines are parallel using angle relationships?

Tip: Always check for parallel lines and transversal intersections to apply angle theorems effectively.
