Question 6
Find the remaining angles in the following quadrilaterals.

We will use the properties of parallelograms and rhombuses to find the unknown angles in each quadrilateral.
Step 1 — Finding angles in parallelogram PEAR (i)
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. In quadrilateral PEAR, the arrows show that PR is parallel to EA, and PE is parallel to RA. So, PEAR is a parallelogram. We are given that . In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to . So, .
Also, .
Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal. So, .
The angles of parallelogram PEAR are , , , and .

Step 2 — Finding angles in parallelogram PQRS (ii)
Quadrilateral PQRS is a parallelogram because its opposite sides are marked as parallel. We are given that . Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary. So, .
Also, .
Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal. So, .
The angles of parallelogram PQRS are , , , and .

Step 3 — Finding angles in rhombus UVWX (iii)
A rhombus is a quadrilateral where all four sides are equal in length. Quadrilateral UVWX is a rhombus because all its sides are marked with tick marks, meaning they are equal. We are given that . The diagonal XV divides the rhombus into two triangles, and . In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect (cut into two equal parts) the angles at the vertices they connect. So, diagonal XV bisects and . This means is equal to .
Now consider . Since UV = UX (all sides of a rhombus are equal), is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, is equal to .
Since diagonal XV bisects , is equal to .
Now let us find , which is the angle of the rhombus. The sum of angles in any triangle is . In , we have .
Finally, let us find , which is the angle of the rhombus. In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal. So, is equal to .
The remaining angles are , , , , and . (The given angle is ).

Step 4 — Finding angles in rhombus OIAE (iv)
Quadrilateral OIAE is a rhombus because all its sides are marked with tick marks, meaning they are equal. We are given that . The diagonal OE divides the rhombus into two triangles, and . In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles at the vertices they connect. So, diagonal OE bisects and . This means is equal to .
Now consider . Since AE = AO (all sides of a rhombus are equal), is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. So, is equal to .
Since diagonal OE bisects , is equal to .
Now let us find , which is the angle of the rhombus. The sum of angles in any triangle is . In , we have .
Finally, let us find , which is the angle of the rhombus. In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal. So, is equal to .
The remaining angles are , , , , and . (The given angle is ).
