Talk about your reasons with a partner.

6 Angle b is three times the size of angle a.

Work out the sizes of angles a and b.

a = b =

7 The diagram shows three straight lines intersecting at a single point.

Work out the value of x and y.

x = y =

Angle f is equal to 79° because vertically opposite

angles are equal.
