Section A: Short Answer Questions

1.

• Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are interior angles? No, $BD \parallel CE$.
• Alternative: Angle $ABC = 180^\circ$.
• Angle $CBD = 180 - 58 - \text{angle } DBC$? No.
• Extend line or use alternate angles.
• Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are co-interior if we consider transversal $BC$? No.
• Let's use parallel lines properties. Draw line through $B$ parallel to $CE$ (which is $BD$).
• Actually, simpler: Angle $ABD + \text{Angle } DBC + \text{Angle } CBE$? No.
• Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$: If we extend $CB$ to $X$, Angle $XBD = 58$ (vertically opposite? No).
• Correct logic: Angle $ABD = 58^\circ$. Since $ABC$ is a line, Angle $DBC = 180 - 58 - \text{Angle } ?$ No.
• $BD \parallel CE$. Transversal $BC$. Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are consecutive interior angles (co-interior) ONLY if $BD$ and $CE$ are parallel and $BC$ is transversal? No, $BC$ connects them.
• Let's use alternate interior angles. Extend $AB$. Or simpler: Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are not directly related by standard names without a Z or C shape. Draw a line through $B$ parallel to $CE$? $BD$ is already parallel. Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$: Consider transversal $BC$. Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are co-interior? No. Let's look at the Z-shape or F-shape. Actually, Angle $ABD = 58$. Angle $ABC = 180$. Angle $DBC = 180 - 58 - \text{Angle } ?$ Wait, $BD \parallel CE$. Angle $DBC = \text{Angle } BCE$? No. Angle $DBC + \text{Angle } BCE = 180$? (Co-interior). If $BD \parallel CE$, then Angle $DBC + \text{Angle } BCE = 180^\circ$. Angle $DBC = 180 - 112 = 68^\circ$. Check: Is $BC$ the transversal between parallel lines $BD$ and $CE$? Yes. Are they co-interior? Yes, they are on the same side of transversal $BC$ and between the parallels. Answer: $68^\circ$ Marks: [1] for $180 - 112$, [1] for 68.

2.

• Interior angle of regular hexagon = $\frac{(6-2) \times 180}{6} = 120^\circ$. So Angle $BCD = 120^\circ$.
• Interior angle of square = $90^\circ$. So Angle $BCG = 90^\circ$.
• Angles at a point $C$: Angle $BCD + \text{Angle } BCG + \text{Angle } GCD = 360^\circ$? No, they are adjacent.

• Angle $HCD = 360 - 120 - 90 = 150^\circ$ (if they don't overlap and fill the space around C? No, usually they are on the outside).
• If the square is outside the hexagon: Angle $HCD = \text{Angle } HCB + \text{Angle } BCD = 90 + 120 = 210$? No, that's reflex.
• Usually, we look for the angle inside the gap or the combined angle.
• Assuming standard "attached externally": Angle $HCD$ refers to the angle between side $CH$ and $CD$.

11.

• Check Pythagoras: $12^2 + 9^2 = 144 + 81 = 225$.
• $15^2 = 225$.
• Since $12^2 + 9^2 = 15^2$, it is right-angled.

• If $B$ is on the minor arc, Angle $ABC = 180 - 65 = 115^\circ$ (cyclic quad with point on major arc).
• Standard convention: "Angle $ABC$" usually implies $B$ is on the major arc unless diagram shows otherwise. Given $OAC=25$, $AOC=130$. Reflex $AOC = 230$. Angle $ABC = 230/2 = 115$?
• Let's check the position. $O$ is centre. $A,C$ on circle. $B$ on circle.
• If $B$ is on the major arc, Angle $ABC = 65^\circ$.
• If $B$ is on the minor arc, Angle $ABC = 115^\circ$.
