1. Calculate the values of x and y. Give reasons for your answers.


118° 74°

2. Look at the diagram. Copy and complete the explanation that the angle sum of triangle ABC is 180°. Write
reason for each line.

Angle A of the triangle = angle PCA

Angle B of the triangle = angle QCB

Angle PCA + angle C of the triangle + angle QCB = 180°

Hence angle A + angle B + angle C = 180°

Q B
