Question 1
Find all the other angles inside the following rectangles.

In a rectangle, all four corner angles are . Opposite sides are parallel and equal. The diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. This means the four segments formed by the intersection of the diagonals are all equal, making the four triangles formed by the diagonals isosceles.
Step 1 — Angles in Rectangle ABCD (i)
Let O be the intersection point of the diagonals AC and BD. The given angle is . We will call this .
The corner angle of the rectangle is . We can find , which we will call .
Since AD is parallel to BC, and are alternate interior angles. So, . We will call as .
Also, AB is parallel to DC, so and are alternate interior angles. So, . We will call as .
In , because diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other. So, is an isosceles triangle. This means the base angles are equal: . We know . So, . We will call this .
The sum of angles in is . So, . We will call as .
and are vertically opposite angles. So, . We will call as .
and form a linear pair (angles on a straight line). So, . We will call as .
and are vertically opposite angles. So, . We will call as .
Now we find the remaining angles at the corners. In , , so it is an isosceles triangle. This means . We know . So, . We will call this .
In , , so it is an isosceles triangle. This means . We know . So, . We will call this .
In , , so it is an isosceles triangle. This means . We know . So, . We will call this .

Step 2 — Angles in Rectangle PSRQ (ii)
Let O be the intersection point of the diagonals PR and QS. The given angle is . We will call this .
