Question 12
In Fig. 5.34, is parallel to CD and CD is parallel to EF. Also, EA is perpendicular to AB. If , find the values of and .

We will use the properties of parallel lines and transversals to find the unknown angles.
Step 1 — Finding the value of y
We are given that line is parallel to line . Line acts as a transversal line cutting these parallel lines. The angles and are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. The sum of interior angles on the same side of a transversal is always .
To find , we subtract from .

Step 2 — Finding the value of x
We are given that line is parallel to line . Line acts as a transversal line cutting these parallel lines. The angles and are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel.
From Step 1, we found that .
Answer
(i) The value of is . (ii) The value of is .
